Hostetler Family Cattle

Hostetler Family Cattle is a miniature Hereford cattle breeder in Millersburg, IN, in Northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. Trent Hostetler has raised these cattle for over a decade, with all breeding stock registered through national associations and receiving routine health screenings.

Each calf is born in pasture settings and benefits from gentle handling that builds trust and ease around people. Animals graze across rolling fields under a rotational system that supports soil health and natural foraging behaviors. The family’s emphasis on temperament and sound structure has helped establish a calm herd that adapts well to mixed farming environments. Modest on size but steady in disposition, these miniature Hereford cattle suit small acreage and community-based farms. Visitors often note the quiet temperament of the herd and comment on the farm’s tidy paddocks. Pastures are enriched with native grasses and legumes to ensure balanced nutrition without reliance on external feeds.
