Kiff Farms

Kiff Farms, Hereford cattle, Wanatah, IN, is a family-owned operation in LaPorte County and the Indiana Dunes region near Chicago. The farm has been raising Hereford cattle for several generations, maintains active membership in the American Hereford Association, and follows recommended health-testing protocols including routine vaccinations and fertility evaluations.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and spends nights in a climate-controlled barn equipped with straw bedding to support natural behaviors, stronger immunity and extended grazing seasons. Kiff Farms emphasizes low-stress handling, frequent socialization of calves and regular human interaction to promote a calm temperament from birth.

Buyers often praise the uniformity of calves, the responsiveness of adults during handling and the steady growth rates observed on local pastures. The farm integrates sustainable practices such as pasture rest cycles and composted manure spreading and occasionally hosts clinic days for 4-H members interested in beef cattle management.
