Prairie View Farm

Prairie View Farm, Shorthorn cattle, Holland, MI in west Michigan near Grand Rapids, has been raising quality beef cattle for over 25 years under the care of Brent Dreyer. The farm is an active member of the American Shorthorn Association, attends national congresses and follows breed-specific health testing protocols for IBR, BVD and Johne’s disease. Animals are raised in pasture-based rotations with access to shelter and fresh water, and follow feed plans tailored to each growth stage, while young calves learn early handling routines that support calm temperaments. Brent’s approach emphasizes low-stress husbandry and regular wellness checks from a local veterinarian team.

The property’s century-old barns and thoughtfully managed grazing system reflect a commitment to sustainable practices. Recent buyers note the cattle’s gentle disposition and solid frame, qualities that align with the breed’s reputation for both beef and maternal traits. Each animal undergoes annual genetic screening to maintain coat color stability and calving ease.
