Taylor's Miniature Herefords

Taylor’s Miniature Herefords is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Bloomfield, IA, serving southeastern Iowa near Des Moines. It has raised quality cattle for over fifteen years, maintaining registry memberships with the American Junior Hereford Association and performing regular health screenings including genetic tests and fertility evaluations. As a family-run operation, its herd grazes on open pastures with shelter access and daily handling to promote a calm disposition and ease of management.

One local rancher noted its calves arrive with solid bone structure and steady weight gain. Its approach emphasizes natural forage-based nutrition and low-stress herding practices. Cattle are introduced to local environments from weaning, ensuring strong immunity and adaptable temperaments.

The farm shares insights into sustainable small-scale farming, reflecting a multi-generation tradition of livestock care passed down through the Taylor family. Breeding lines emphasize docility and feed efficiency, traits valued by small farms and larger operations alike.
