Jacob Fenton

Jacob Fenton is a Hereford cattle breeder in Strawberry Point, IA, in Clayton County and northeast Iowa near Dubuque. With more than a decade of breeding experience, he selects for temperament, sound structure and efficient feed conversion, and he maintains registrations with the American Hereford Association. His cattle graze on rotational pastures complemented by custom-cut hay, supporting natural foraging behaviors and soil health under seasonal rotations.

Healthy herds receive daily social interaction and shelter from weather in a refurbished barn with straw bedding. Fenton’s focus on balanced nutrition and routine wellness checks contributes to uniform weight gains and calm herd dynamics. Several of his breeding females have earned recognition for maternal instincts and longevity, reflecting a consistent record at regional stock shows. Calves are weaned on-site and receive ample turnout to encourage steady growth before transfer to finishing pastures. Local farmers often note the docile nature and consistent frame size of his calves, which integrate smoothly into diverse herd operations.
