Stuart Farm

Stuart Farm breeds Milking Devon cattle in Gerald, Missouri, in Franklin County near St. Louis. It has nurtured this heritage breed for over a decade, adhering to standards set by the American Milking Devon Cattle Association and performing routine health testing focused on genetic and disease screening. Its breeding philosophy centers on robust health and temperament, with calves socialized through daily handling and a diet managed via rotational grazing to support strong, adaptable animals.

Serena and Fred Stuart maintain a modest herd size to offer individualized care and uphold sustainable pasture management practices that enrich the land. A restored 19th-century barn provides secure shelter and illustrates the farm’s deep roots in regional agriculture. Owners value the comprehensive herd histories and transparent health records that accompany each animal, reflecting a commitment to responsible stewardship and the breed’s enduring qualities. The Stuarts regularly exhibit at county fairs and breed showcases to foster community ties and share best practices.
