O'Meara Family Farm

O'Meara Family Farm, Irish kerry cattle, New Sweden, ME, in Aroostook County and the Bangor area. John O'Meara has been raising this hardy heritage breed for several years and adheres to guidelines from the Irish Kerry Cattle Society, maintaining open breeding records and genetic screening. The farm follows routine veterinary checks, herd health protocols, and nutritional planning tailored to meet the needs of traditional grass-fed systems.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures during the warmer months and use barn facilities for calving and shelter through Maine’s harsher seasons. Regular handling from birth helps calves develop calm temperaments, making them manageable on both small family farms and larger operations. The operation emphasizes maternal traits in its selection approach, tracking lineage and growth data to support durable, self-reliant stock. Detailed ongoing health profiles and pasture management guidance support each stage of individual development.
