Jeff Lorenz

Jeff Lorenz raises Chianina cattle in New Paris, IN, in St. Joseph County and the Michiana region near South Bend. He follows guidelines from national cattle associations and conducts regular health screenings to ensure herd well-being. His cattle live on a pasture-based system where daily handling and balanced nutrition support steady growth and calm temperaments.

The herd features pedigreed bloodlines selected over generations for strong muscle development and a gentle disposition. Calves receive early socialization alongside adult animals, which helps them adapt smoothly to diverse farm environments. Attention to soil health and rotational grazing supports the land that sustains the herd and underscores a commitment to responsible stewardship. Jeff applies rotational grazing techniques refined over years of experience to maintain pasture productivity and animal welfare, and each animal’s health records are meticulously tracked for transparency. Visitors often note the herd’s approachable nature and well-kept pastures.
