Roy & Kim Dean

Roy & Kim Dean are Hereford cattle breeders in Harrisonburg, VA, in the Shenandoah Valley near Charlottesville. They participate in standard herd health protocols with regular veterinary oversight and follow registry guidelines for breeding selection.

Calves are raised on pasture with rotational grazing and daily human interaction to support gentle temperaments and robust growth. The farm emphasizes sustainable pasture management and strives for a calm herd, reflecting the family’s commitment to responsible stewardship. The farm has been in operation on family land since the mid 1990s, blending traditional practices with participation in regional livestock shows.

Registered pedigrees accompany each heifer and bull calf, documented through the American Hereford Association. Year-round mineral supplementation and sheltered loafing areas during winter support steady weight gain and herd comfort in colder months. Biannual veterinary visits cover comprehensive health checks and parasite control to uphold the herd’s vitality.
