Meadow Lane Farms

Meadow Lane Farms, Tarentaise cattle, Mayview, MO, serving Cass County near Kansas City. Harold and Melissa Bertz have focused on Tarentaise cattle for many years and follow recommended health testing protocols. They maintain detailed health records for each animal.

Their cattle graze on managed pasture, receive regular hands-on care from a young age, and live in shelters designed to promote natural social behavior and offer easy access to clean water. Pastures are rotated seasonally to support sustainable grazing and soil health. Each calf spends its first months under close supervision, fostering strong maternal bonds and calm temperaments. The farm’s modest scale allows personalized attention to each animal, with several cows earning regional show ribbons. Located on family-cultivated land since the 1930s, the operation blends tradition with careful recordkeeping, as detailed care records and pedigrees reflect a transparent approach to resource stewardship and livestock well-being.
