S&F Farms

S&F Farms breed Dexter cattle in Lemoore, California, in Kings County and the Central Valley near Fresno. They have raised these compact dual-purpose dairy and beef cattle since the early 2010s as members of the American Dexter Cattle Association and adhere to its strict recommended health screenings for chondrodysplasia and anemia.

Their herd grazes on rotational pasture with access to shelter barns and fresh water year-round. Calves are handled daily to encourage steady socialization and remain with their dams through the first several months. Winter shelter and shade structures help maintain herd comfort while careful breeding records support genetic diversity.

The family-operated farm places emphasis on transparent husbandry practices and gentle handling that foster trust between cattle and caretakers. Visitors and owners often praise the farm’s consistent focus on breed preservation and the reliable health and disposition of its cattle.
