Meents Family Farms

Meents Family Farms, Miniature Hereford cattle, Monticello, IN, is located in White County and the Wabash River valley near Lafayette. Meents Family Farms maintains registrations through national breed associations and conducts routine health and genetic screening on each animal. The herd grazes on pasture rotations overseen with attention to soil and forage health, and calves are reared within easy sight of the home for frequent handling and early socialization.

Its focus on quiet temperaments and consistent maternal traits has drawn praise from fellow small-scale producers in the region. Shade structures and winter shelters are available year-round, with supplemental feeding used sparingly to support steady, natural growth. Calving season runs from early spring through late summer, allowing young stock to benefit from fresh pasture growth and regular monitoring by the family. Visitors appreciate the farm’s relaxed pace and are welcome to observe daily routines, though appointments help ensure minimal disruption to the cattle’s comfort.
