Jacob B Farrer

Jacob B Farrer, Shorthorn cattle breeder in Bremen, IN, works in Starke County and the Indiana Dunes near Gary. Farrer has managed Shorthorn breeding programs for several years, is a member of regional cattle associations, and follows guidelines from national breed organizations, including routine health screenings and structural evaluations.

Each calf is raised on pasture with gradual handling to support early socialization, receives balanced nutrition through rotational grazing, and is monitored daily during its first months. The farm layout includes fenced paddocks for turnout and open-sided shelters that allow animals to move freely while staying protected from weather. Waste management and pasture rotation practices reflect a focus on environmental comfort and soil health.

Over generations of family involvement, attention to calm temperaments and sturdy frames has shaped their selection criteria. Reviewers note the herd’s steady dispositions and consistent growth rates in show rings and small-scale production herds.
