Stockdale Hereford Farm

Stockdale Hereford Farm breeds Hereford cattle in Dayton, PA, in Armstrong County and the Allegheny River valley near Pittsburgh. Founded more than two decades ago by the Stockdale family, the operation holds registrations with the American Hereford Association and adheres to recommended hoof, fertility, and health testing protocols. Calves are socialized from birth in open pasture and given access to a well-managed free-stall barn during inclement weather, reflecting a focus on gentle handling and low-stress environments.

The family-operated farm blends time-honored stockmanship with rotational grazing techniques, enriching soil health while supporting steady weight gain and a quiet temperament. A consistent supply to regional butcher shops underscores a reputation for even marbling and lean muscle development across each year’s calf crop.

Community members often remark on the welcoming atmosphere of the red barn and pastures shaded by mature oak trees. Stockdale Hereford Farm’s commitment to sustainable practices and genetic selection aims to balance productive output with environmental stewardship.
