Gerber Polled Herefords

Gerber Polled Herefords raises Hereford cattle in Richmond, IN, serving Eastern Indiana and the Indianapolis area. They have over 30 years of experience, maintain American Hereford Association registration and membership in the Indiana Cattlemen’s Association, and run annual health screenings including genomic testing and BVD-PI screening protocols.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures that support hoof health and natural foraging behaviors. Calves receive daily handling from weaning onward to foster calm temperaments well suited for family farms. Their breeding stock undergoes genetic evaluations for calving ease and growth traits to balance performance with longevity. A local veterinarian has noted the herd’s consistent health and gentle disposition during routine visits.

The farm traces its roots to mid-20th century ranching traditions and follows performance recording for feed efficiency. Buyers often comment on clear communication and practical guidance regarding feed programs and pasture management.
