Five Mile Farm

Five Mile Farm, Dutch belted cattle in Timpson, TX, serves Sabine County and the Piney Woods near Nacogdoches. David Shepherd and Cathy Shepherd have spent more than a decade developing a herd that meets association health standards through regular testing for common bovine conditions. Their cattle graze on rotating pastures of native grasses, and calves are raised alongside the family to ensure early handling and social interaction.

The farm follows guidelines set by national breed registries and keeps detailed records of lineage and wellness to support transparency for buyers. Visitors remark on the calm temperament of the cattle and the hands-on approach the Shepherds provide during every stage of growth. They value the breed’s distinctive markings and calm disposition when selecting breeding pairs.
