Meyer Crest Cattle

Meyer Crest Cattle raises Hereford cattle in Dyersville, IA, in Dubuque County and the Driftless Area near Dubuque. The family run farm has more than twenty years of experience and is a member of the American Hereford Association, with routine genetic and health screenings to support strong stock.

Animals are raised on open pastures with rotational grazing, receiving balanced grain supplements and daily herd health checks from a local veterinarian. Calves are handled gently from birth to foster calm temperaments before they join grazing herds. Meyer Crest’s approach emphasizes sustainable practices and respectful stewardship of land and livestock. Its cattle have performed well in county fairs and live auctions, drawing praise for consistency in frame and temperament.

Through partnerships with local 4-H and FFA chapters, it supports hands-on learning for young livestock enthusiasts. Cold winters in the Mississippi River Valley shape resilient breeding lines adapted to Iowa’s seasonal extremes.
