Dmf Shorthorns

Dmf Shorthorns, Shorthorn cattle in Goshen, IN, serves Elkhart County and the Michiana region near South Bend. Dana Miller has raised registered Shorthorn cattle for over two decades and holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association.

Each herd follows a rotational grazing plan, and calves spend time in family pastures to encourage early socialization and easy handling. The operation emphasizes routine health screening, balanced nutrition and regular hoof care to support longevity and breed standards. Several show ribbons at the state fair reflect consistent breeding for structural soundness and maternal traits. Visitors note the calm temperament of calves and their friendly approach during farm tours.

Breeding goals focus on calving ease and feed efficiency, with each cow tested for genetic markers linked to fertility. A well-ventilated barn provides shelter during winter months, and bulls rotate through clean holding pens to maintain herd health.
