Mark Blake Cattle

Mark Blake Cattle is a Limousin cattle breeder in Earl Park, IN, in Benton County near Lafayette. The program has been focused on Limousin lines for more than twenty years, with the herd registered through the American Limousin Association and following comprehensive health protocols including annual veterinary exams and genetic screening.

Calving takes place in open pastures under careful supervision, and calves benefit from early socialization within a family farm environment. Each animal moves through rotational grazing cycles to support soil health and natural muscle development. The farm’s breeding strategy emphasizes maternal traits and efficient feed conversion to maintain balanced performance across the herd.

Neighbors often remark on the calm temperament of the cattle and the farm’s commitment to sustainable grazing practices. Community fairs and local farm tours have highlighted its consistent herd quality and down-to-earth approach. The operation is guided by a philosophy of practical stewardship and long-term improvement rather than flash.
