Hephzibah Family Farm

Hephzibah Family Farm is a Murray grey cattle breeder in Lagrange, Indiana, in northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. The farm has more than ten years of experience raising cattle, participates in breed association events and follows recommended health testing protocols.

Animals graze on rotational pastures and have sheltered loafing areas, with herd members receiving daily handling to reinforce calm dispositions. Owner Lavon Zimmerman oversees feeding schedules and coordinates regular veterinary reviews to ensure herd well-being. Murray grey cattle are valued for their adaptability and gentle nature, fitting the farm’s family-oriented environment. The operation combines traditional husbandry methods with sustainable practices, reflecting a respect for land and livestock rooted in multigenerational farming values.

Seasonal pasture management allows cattle access to fresh forage nearly year-round with clean water from on-site springs, and covered feeding lanes and calving shelters provide protection during changing weather. Lavon Zimmerman’s background in animal nutrition informs the balanced diet provided to each herd member, an attention to detail that supports the breed’s inherent hardiness and contributes to consistent growth rates.
