Moosters Meadows

Moosters Meadows breeds Dexter cattle in Lusk, Wyoming, in Niobrara County and the Great Plains near Cheyenne. It has been raising Dexter cattle for over a decade, holds memberships in the American Dexter Cattle Association and local agricultural groups, and follows a health protocol that includes genetic screening, regular veterinary checkups, and water quality monitoring. Calving takes place each spring under dry lot shelters to ensure newborn calves receive prompt care and colostrum within hours of birth.

Animals graze on open pastures managed with rotational grazing and trace mineral supplementation, while daily handling and gentle halter training foster calm herd temperaments and ease of handling. The family-run farm draws on generations of small-scale ranching traditions and practices soil conservation through cover cropping and manure composting. Visitors often praise the Jones family’s transparent approach to hoof trimming schedules and pasture rotation plans that support healthy, well-muscled cattle.
