Vermilion Farms LLC

Vermilion Farms LLC breeds Hereford cattle in Lafayette, LA, part of the Acadiana region near Baton Rouge. The operation has been working with Hereford bloodlines for over a decade, enrolled with the American Hereford Association registry and conducting routine veterinary health screens. Its breeding program emphasizes calving ease and structural soundness, supported by periodic genetic evaluations.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures designed for soil health, and daily handling helps foster calm, confident temperaments. Calves remain with their mothers until weaning, and social groups are kept small to encourage natural herd dynamics. Winter housing includes open-sided barns with straw bedding, allowing for sheltered but well-ventilated living quarters.

Family-run for three generations, the farm keeps detailed records on lineage and performance to guide breeding decisions. Several offspring have placed at local agricultural fairs, underscoring a steady focus on sound structure and temperament.
