Valley View

Valley View breeds miniature Hereford cattle in Butler, OH, serving Butler County and the Cincinnati area. It follows industry guidelines, maintains regular veterinary screenings for all breeding stock, and registers each calf with the American Hereford Association.

Operating from gently rolling pastures rich in clover and fescue, the farm uses rotational grazing and quality forage to support fertility, weight gain, and parasite management. Calves benefit from strict colostrum management during their first hours of life and are weaned according to veterinary-recommended milestones. Daily handling by Doug Chadwick promotes calm temperaments and sets the foundation for lifelong tractability.

Their stock reflects balanced structure and ease of management, qualities prized by small-scale and homestead farmers alike. Low-stress handling techniques and attentive care contribute to cattle with steady dispositions and sound feet. As a small-scale operation, Valley View emphasizes sustainable practices and hands-on care at every stage.
