Lauric Farms Ltd., miniature Hereford cattle, Lamont, IA, in northeast Iowa near Dubuque, is known for calm-tempered red-and-white stock. With more than a decade of selective breeding experience, the farm maintains American Hereford Association registration and routine health screenings.

The farm’s proximity to rolling hills provides varied forage throughout the seasons.
