Dennis Badskey & Family

Dennis Badskey & Family raise Chianina cattle in Corunna, IN, Allen County and the Fort Wayne area. They have been breeding Chianina cattle for over a decade and are members of the American Chianina Association.

Their herd grazes rotationally across mixed pasture and receives daily handling for early socialization and halter training. Fields are fenced to preserve native grasses, and mineral supplementation is provided year-round to support growth and fertility. Several of their cows have earned calm temperament awards at county fairs, reflecting a focus on steady dispositions.

Calves remain with their dams for at least six months, benefiting from maternal care and consistent human interaction. They keep detailed records of lineage, health checks and weight gains, ensuring transparency for prospective buyers. They participate in regional livestock development programs, sharing best practices at annual meetings.
