Find breeders and service providers in the Directory
Open Directory to find breeders, animals, registries and farm service providers on Creatures. Filter by species, breed and state, then call, email or visit a breeder's website right from the results.
Open the Directory
On a computer, select Directory in the menu at the top of any page. On a phone, tap the menu button (three lines) at the top right, then Directory.
The Directory page has:
- Search the directory, to look up a business by name
- Breeders, Animals and Registries, to browse each kind of listing
- Find animal service providers, for hoof care, shearing, reproduction, processing and transport
- Find breeders by species and Popular searches, as quick places to start
Find breeders
- Select Breeders, or pick a species under Find breeders by species.
- Narrow the list with All Species, All Breeds and All States, or type a name in Search by business name.
- On a phone, the filters fold into one row that names your search. Tap Change to open them, then tap Search.
Each result shows the farm, its town and what it raises. Use Call, Email or Website to reach the breeder without opening the listing. Breeders who run their own profile show a Claimed badge.
Want to know when animals like these go up for sale? Select Get listing alerts and Creatures will email you when new matching listings appear. You'll need a free account.
Contact a breeder
A breeder with a Claimed badge has a Creatures profile. Open it to Follow them or send a Message.
Some listings were built from public business information before the breeder joined. They show the phone number, email or website we found, so you contact the business directly. Creatures can't pass on a message to a business that hasn't joined.
To hear when that breeder joins, open their listing and look for Not the owner? If you're signed in, select Notify me. If you're signed out, select Notify me if they join, enter your name and email, then select Notify me. We'll email you a code to confirm.
Under Location, a breeder's listing also has Directions to the farm and a link to more breeders like it in that state.
Find a service provider
- On the Directory page, choose a category under Find animal service providers: Hoof Care, Shearers, Reproduction Services, Processing or Transporters.
- Filter with Search by provider name, All Services, All Species and All States. For Processing, choose a livestock species first.
- Select View details to see the services, species and area a provider covers.
A provider marked Claimed runs its own Creatures profile, which you can open and message. An unclaimed listing keeps contact details private until the business confirms it owns the listing.
Looking for a male to breed your female? Studs are in the Marketplace. Select Marketplace, then Studs.
If nothing matches
When no breeders fit your filters, you'll see No matches found. Select Clear filters to start over.
Searched for a business name that isn't listed? You'll see No breeder named and the name you typed. Pick a close match under Did you mean, or check the spelling.
A species, breed and state search tells you what's missing instead, such as "No Highland cattle breeders in Texas yet." It suggests other states and breeds that do have breeders. To hear when one is listed, select Get listing alerts.
Is this your business?
If you find your own farm or business, you can claim the listing, correct it or ask us to remove it. See Is your business listed? To add a new listing, see Getting listed in the breeder directory. A service business can create an organization to get listed.
