Emily Griffiths, Chianina cattle, Kendallville, IN, northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. She is a member of the American Chianina Association and takes part in regional livestock events to measure her herd against national breed standards. Her cattle undergo regular veterinary screenings for genetic traits and disease resistance, reflecting a commitment to animal health. The herd grazes on open pasture, where natural foraging and gentle handling promote calm temperaments and robust development.

Raised on a family farm passed down through generations, these cattle receive early socialization and routine performance evaluations to track growth metrics. Daily interaction among calves and adults helps the animals adapt to varied farm tasks and builds confidence for potential working roles. Calves are introduced to handlers early, ensuring they develop trust and adapt smoothly to new environments. Pasture rotation and soil management practices support both environmental health and nutritional quality for the herd.
