Clinkenbeard Farms & Sons

Clinkenbeard Farms & Sons, Hereford cattle, Edwardsport, IN, is a family operation in Knox County and southern Indiana near Evansville. For over two decades, the farm has been registered with the American Hereford Association and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, and it maintains regular health testing for bovine respiratory disease and foot rot. Each spring calving season runs from March through May, with calves weaned at around seven months and selected for temperament and growth rates.

Calves are raised on pasture with access to barns at night, and they undergo daily handling from birth to ensure calmness around visitors and tractors. The farm’s rotational grazing helps preserve soil health and provides each animal with fresh forage, and breeding stock receive mineral supplements under veterinary guidance. As a testament to their breeding goals, several bulls have placed at regional livestock shows for muscle shape and structural soundness. Visitors often note the farm’s peaceful setting and the herd’s gentle temperament during on-site assessments.
