Mini Acres

Mini Acres breeds Hereford cattle in Richmond, Maine, serving Sagadahoc County and Midcoast Maine near Augusta. It maintains strict health testing protocols and follows guidance from national breed associations to support herd vitality.

Its cattle graze on rotating pastures and have access to a spacious barn during colder months, ensuring year-round comfort. Calves are handled gently from birth, encouraging calm temperaments and steady growth. Mini Acres began as a small family operation and keeps herd sizes manageable for individualized attention.

It employs rotational grazing to protect pastures and contribute to soil health, and partners with a local veterinarian for preventive care and agronomy consultations to optimize pasture quality. Feed is balanced among hay, grains, and mineral supplements tailored to growth stages, with individual performance tracked to refine nutrition. This hands-on care fosters gentle dispositions suited to both family farms and commercial herds.
