Journeycreek Farms

Journeycreek Farms, Miniature Hereford cattle, Lagro, IN, is located in northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. Kyle Oswalt has been raising Miniature Hereford cattle at Journeycreek Farms for more than a decade and follows American Miniature Hereford Association guidelines for structure and health. The herd lives on rotational pasture with access to sturdy shelter and fresh water year round, and calves are gently introduced to handling to support calm temperaments.

All mature cows and bulls undergo routine health screenings for genetic conditions recommended by the association. Feeding focuses on local forage supplemented with a balanced grain mix during colder months to maintain consistent growth and well-being. Calves remain with their mothers for several weeks to promote social bonds before careful weaning under skilled supervision. The farm traces its roots to a family homestead established generations ago and emphasizes transparent communication about breeding choices. Many visitors note the friendly nature of the cattle and the relaxed farm setting.
