Hamilton Family Farms

Hamilton Family Farms is a Hereford cattle breeder in Avoca, IA, southwest Iowa near Omaha. Since its founding, the farm has maintained registrations with national cattle associations and follows routine health screenings for its herd, including annual vaccinations and parasite control. The farm’s roots trace back to mid-20th century local ranching traditions, lending a sense of continuity to each breeding decision. The cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to open barns, and calves receive early handling to encourage gentle temperaments.

Breeding selections emphasize balanced structure and soundness, helping ensure uniform performance and longevity. The family-owned operation blends traditional husbandry with ongoing evaluation of new pasture methods and low-stress handling, and rotates mineral supplements based on seasonal pasture tests. Visitors often note the clean facilities and calm animals as reflections of thoughtful daily care. This steady approach supports cattle that meet both heritage standards and modern expectations.
