Brandon Culp

Brandon Culp is a Chianina cattle breeder in Rensselaer, IN, serving Jasper County and northwest Indiana near Chicago. He maintains membership in the American Chianina Association and conducts routine health testing on each animal, including ultrasound fertility scans and hoof structure evaluations, to ensure lasting soundness and fertility. Over the years he has refined selection criteria to preserve the breed’s traditional size, meat quality and maternal temperament.

His cattle graze on seasonally rotated pastures near the homestead, and young calves are handled daily to develop a calm, curious temperament. The farm features large, fenced paddocks, ample shade trees and a central feeding area that simplifies group feeding and monitoring. Several animals have earned high scores at state fairs, reflecting steady growth and balanced conformation. He collaborates with local extension services to stay current on nutrition and welfare research, supporting lifelong herd health.
