Heffley Farms

Heffley Farms is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Auburn, IN, in northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne, serving local and regional producers. They maintain registration with the American Shorthorn Association and adhere to recommended health testing protocols for breeding stock, including genetic screenings and vaccinations.

The herd grazes on rotationally managed pastures with access to clean water sources, benefiting from daily handling in a calm, low-stress environment. Calves are socialized early, spending time with family and farm routines to foster gentle temperaments and confidence around people.

Their approach aims to produce cattle known for strong structural soundness, consistent weight gains, and adaptability to a range of pasture conditions. Local farmers often note the animals’ even dispositions and sturdy builds, traits that support efficient herd integration and management. Careful record keeping and selective pairing guide steady improvements in performance and maternal qualities across successive generations.
