Songwood Haven Farm

Songwood Haven Farm raises Irish Dexter cattle in the mountains of East Bernstadt, Kentucky, in the Appalachian foothills of Laurel County, roughly an hour south of Lexington. Owner Kim Newswanger operates the farm with a clear purpose: producing ADCA-registered, purebred Dexter cattle for use as dual-purpose breeding stock, with a particular focus on raising and training family milk cows.

The program places a high priority on structural correctness and docile temperament, with breeding decisions guided by deliberate selection priorities rather than producing average-quality animals. Bulls used in the herd are chosen for traits like beef and milk genetics combined, correct body structure, and consistently calm dispositions passed to offspring.

Those searching for Dexter cattle for sale in Kentucky will find that Songwood Haven Farm takes a methodical approach to herd development, maintaining a detailed herdbook and tracking foundation animals that have shaped the current herd. The farm has also made AI semen from select bulls available to other Dexter breeders looking to improve their own herds, reflecting a broader commitment to advancing quality within the breed.
