Ashton Farms

Ashton Farms, Hereford cattle, Madison, IN, in southern Indiana near Louisville. It has been breeding over two decades under consistent family oversight, maintaining membership in the American Hereford Association and routine genetic health screening through accredited laboratories. Cattle are raised on open pastures with shelter barns, daily turnout, and access to clean water and salt licks, and calves are socialized from birth to promote calm temperaments.

The farm’s roots trace back to a family homestead established in the 1950s, where personal care and a focus on maternal traits and structural soundness became guiding principles. Guests often praise the approachable team and clear explanation of feeding routines and welfare practices. Visitors may observe herd routines during daylight hours on weekdays.

Bloodlines reflect several award-winning sires with a record of consistent weight gains and sound movement. Feeding programs emphasize locally sourced forage complemented by scientifically formulated supplements to support growth and reproductive health.
