Curtis & Christal Musser

Curtis & Christal Musser raise Hereford cattle in Otterbein, IN, in northwestern Indiana near Lafayette. They have been raising Hereford cattle for over ten years, participating in regional breeders associations and following industry-recommended health testing protocols to maintain strong genetics. Calves share open pasture with their mothers and receive daily handling to foster a calm, adaptable temperament.

Their farm carries forward farming traditions dating to the 1980s, with rotational grazing practices that support herd health and soil regeneration. Bulls from their program have earned recognition at county fairs for balanced conformation and gentle disposition. Every animal benefits from a shelter barn and access to mineral supplements year-round, reflecting the Mussers’ commitment to thoughtful husbandry.

Low-stress handling is a priority, with cattle guided through chutes or pens to reduce anxiety and foster confidence. Winter months are spent in a heated barn with straw bedding to ensure comfort during colder spells.
