Marion Smith and Family

Marion Smith and Family are Chianina cattle breeders in Lynn, IN, Randolph County and the Midwest near Dayton. The family brings decades of cattle-breeding experience, regularly participates in breed standard programs and follows recommended health screening protocols to support long-term herd well-being.

Their cattle graze on diverse pastureland with rotational management across multiple paddocks, and calves receive daily handling to foster a calm temperament. Animals are housed in clean, well-ventilated barns with access to shade and windbreaks during severe weather. The farm team focuses on sustainable practices, combining natural grass-fed systems with attentive herd management to maintain low-stress conditions.

Regular hoof trimming, dental check-ups and monthly vaccinations are part of the routine care, ensuring each animal thrives. Each animal benefits from locally sourced hay and tailored mineral supplements that support healthy growth and the strong frame characteristic of Chianina cattle.
