Little Hoof Ranch

Little Hoof Ranch, a Dexter cattle breeder in Douglas, Wyoming, is nestled in Converse County and the High Plains near Casper. They have been raising Dexter cattle since 2012 and hold memberships in the American Dexter Cattle Association, with all breeding stock cleared through standard health screenings and congenital defect testing.

At the ranch, calves are raised on open pasture and moved to fresh grazing each season, encouraging natural herd behavior and early human handling, with winter housing provided in a ventilated barn with straw bedding. Donald and Becky Swisher believe that early socialization and rotational grazing contribute to calm temperaments and strong foraging skills.

Their gentle herd regularly participates in local agricultural shows, with several animals earning awards for structural soundness and poise. Visitors to the property can observe daily feeding routines and see detailed health records for each animal, reflecting a transparent approach that many customers appreciate.
