L And K Livestock

L And K Livestock raises miniature Hereford cattle in Church Point, LA, within the Acadiana region near Lafayette. Owner Livi Bearb has devoted over a decade to breeding and caring for miniature Hereford cattle, following breed association guidelines, conducting routine health screenings for genetic soundness, and scheduling regular veterinary checkups.

The herd enjoys rotational grazing across lush coastal pastures, supplemented by hay and mineral blocks during seasonal changes to support digestive health. Calves remain with their dams and receive daily human interaction from birth, fostering gentle temperaments that suit small-scale farms and family settings. This hands-on approach extends to hoof trimming, vaccination schedules, and body condition monitoring to ensure each animal thrives.

The farm’s modest size allows for personalized care, and local 4-H families often note the cattle’s calm nature and consistent well-being. L And K Livestock’s practices reflect a deep respect for sustainable land stewardship and the unique character of miniature Hereford cattle.
