Muff Family Farms

Muff Family Farms, miniature Herefords, Ventura, IA, in north central Iowa near Mason City. Andy Muff has been raising miniature Hereford cattle for over a decade with a focus on balanced temperament, sound structure and adaptability to family farms. All calves are registered with the American Miniature Hereford Association and receive routine health screenings including vaccination and hoof trimming care.

Animals live on pasture grazing rotational paddocks and have daily interaction with caregivers to encourage gentle handling from an early age. The farm follows sustainable practices and offers a quiet, spacious environment that supports natural behaviors and seasonal breeding cycles. The herd remains small to ensure individualized care and strong bond between animals and handlers. As a family-run operation, they attend regional livestock shows and work with local extension services to refine breeding goals. Visitors often remark on the calm demeanor of the herd and the natural farm setting.
