Nierman Cattle Co

Nierman Cattle Co is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Brownstown, IN, serving Jackson County and the Louisville area. Mike Nierman and Matthew/Rachel Nierman oversee a registered herd raised on open pastures, where calves undergo regular health screenings, vaccinations and parasite control protocols from birth. Their detailed records include lineage, calving ease scores and performance data for each animal, supporting sound structure and longevity in bloodlines.

The cattle graze rotationally across fenced fields, enjoying balanced nutrition from lush pastures supplemented with hay in winter and receiving group and individual attention to ensure steady growth and gentle temperaments. Calves receive daily handling to ease future management, foster calm behavior and adapt smoothly to weaning routines. The farm has been part of southern Indiana’s agricultural landscape for decades, reflecting a long tradition of hands-on husbandry and community involvement. Visitors often note the tranquil setting and the breeders’ transparent approach to health, welfare and breeding goals.
