Brandywine Farms Cattle Company

Brandywine Farms Cattle Company, Shorthorn cattle, Carthage, Indiana, is situated in Steuben County and the Northeast Indiana region near Fort Wayne. Their family-owned operation is built on years of careful breeding and adherence to national registry standards for Shorthorn cattle. They perform regular health screenings and work with veterinarians to monitor herd wellbeing.

Dustin Snyder and Aaron Birge raise the cattle on rotationally grazed, nutrient-rich pastures, incorporating daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Calves are given time to socialize in family groups and have access to shaded barns during extreme weather. The farm’s approach emphasizes soil health and sustainable forage management, reflecting a respect for the land and the breed’s heritage. Brandywine Farms often shares calves at local small-scale exhibitions to track conformation and market feedback. They maintain detailed breeding records and can trace each animal’s heritage through multiple generations.
