Gettinger Chiangus

Gettinger Chiangus is a Chianina cattle breeder in Rushville, IN, located in Rush County and the southeastern Indiana region near Indianapolis. Barb Gettinger has been raising Chianina cattle for several years under American Chianina Association guidelines and maintains full registration records for each animal. The herd follows a comprehensive health program with routine vaccinations, structural soundness evaluations and regular veterinary check-ups.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to clean water, shelter and high-quality forage, and calves receive daily handling to support calm temperaments from an early age. Basic feed supplements are tailored to growth stages, helping maintain proper muscling and condition without overfeeding. Year-round access to barn stalls ensures protection during severe weather, and ongoing pasture management promotes sustainable land use. The farm’s approach is rooted in family farming traditions, emphasizing low-stress handling, pasture diversity and natural foraging behavior. Several young animals have placed at local livestock events, reflecting thoughtful breeding choices and consistent care.
