Snoetic Farm

Snoetic Farm, Irish dexters in Manitoba and the Canadian prairies near Winnipeg, is dedicated to preserving this compact heritage cattle breed with thoughtful care. Yoenne Ewald has welcomed these gentle dexters for over a decade, participating in regional breed society meetings and maintaining transparent health records that include routine screenings for common genetic conditions. The cattle graze across rotational pastures designed to encourage natural foraging and seasonal movement, and handlers begin gentle training and socialization soon after birth to foster calm temperaments.

Nestled on pastureland that once supported mixed farming operations, the herd benefits from low-stress handling and year-round access to shelter during harsh winters. Small group sizes ensure each animal receives individual attention, while hay sourced from the farm’s own fields supports a balanced diet. Regular pasture testing and soil improvements reflect a commitment to environmental stewardship that underpins every aspect of the farm’s work.
