Meiring Square Meaters

Meiring Square Meaters raises square meaters or mini Murrays in Zionsville, Indiana, in central Indiana near Indianapolis. Debra Meiring has been breeding these cattle for more than a decade and maintains registration with recognized cattle associations while conducting routine health testing on all breeding stock. Animals graze on rotational pasture and have access to open-faced shelters while gentle daily handling ensures calves are socialized from an early age.

The farm’s roots extend to a multi-generation homestead where soil health and animal welfare guide every decision. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the herd and the clarity of lineage records. Each calf receives ear tags and detailed health tracking to ensure traceability.

Cattle feed on native grasses and legumes supplemented by balanced minerals, and routine antibiotic use is avoided while basic handling lessons introduce young cattle to farm life. This hands-on approach aims to deliver consistently sound genetics and a resilient herd for small-scale and sustainable operations.
