Barry J Fout

Barry J Fout, Shorthorn cattle breeder in Charlottesville, IN, serves Hancock County and the Indianapolis metro area. The operation is registered with the American Shorthorn Association and follows recommended genetic screening as well as routine veterinary checks to ensure calf viability and herd health. Herd management takes place on a family-owned farm with oak-shaded paddocks, barn access, and clean water provided year-round.

Calves follow a rotational grazing plan with supplemental hay in winter, regular hoof trimming, and parasite control to support overall wellness. Emphasis on early socialization and gentle handling helps produce cattle with calm dispositions suited to both small holdings and larger operations. Balanced genetic selection aims to enhance performance in both beef production and maternal qualities. Their offspring have earned ribbons at local fairs for structural soundness and calving ease. Buyers note the consistent growth rates, uniform conformation, and dependable temperament across each year’s calf crop.
