J. Becraft Family Cattle

J. Becraft Family Cattle, Chianina cattle breeders in Edwardsburg, MI, are located in Cass County and the South Bend area. They have been raising Chianina cattle for several years, maintain registration with the American Chianina Association and follow recommended health screening protocols to support strong genetic lines. On their family-owned ranch, calves spend early weeks alongside their mothers in shaded paddocks and later roam rotating grazing fields bordered by native woodlands for fresh forage and quiet rest.

Daily care includes personalized feeding plans tailored to each animal’s growth stage and regular hoof and coat checks to maintain health and comfort. Brothers James Becraft and Jesse Becraft involve local youth in farm visits to share practical skills and foster a deeper understanding of cattle stewardship. Their dual focus on efficient beef production and animal welfare has earned praise from neighboring farmers for consistency and integrity in herd management. The family farm has welcomed visitors to observe weaning demonstrations and breeding discussions at events throughout the season.
