Lemster Herefords

Lemster Herefords is a Hereford breeder in Valparaiso, IN, in Northwest Indiana near Chicago. The herd is registered with the American Hereford Association and has been managed by the Lemster family for over a decade, with routine health screening for calving ease and bovine respiratory disease. Animals are raised on open pastures at the edge of the farmland, where calves spend their first weeks socializing with the herd under attentive supervision. Their emphasis on maternal strength and gentle temperament reflects a multigenerational approach to balanced breeding.

On-site facilities include spacious calf pens and covered loafing sheds that adapt to seasonal changes. Prospective buyers note clear communication from the farm and a steady record of healthy, well-tempered cattle. Rotational grazing practices support soil health and traceability from birth to sale. Barns are cleaned daily and feed is locally sourced to support the regional network of farmers.
