R&M Barker Land & Cattle LLC specializes in Chianina cattle in Kendallville, Indiana, in northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne.

Pat Barker and Ryan Barker participate in national breed registry programs and conduct routine health screenings to ensure strong genetics and resilient herds.

Calves are socialized from birth by the Barker team and spend time with family herds to encourage calm handling throughout life.

The farm is framed by century-old barns on rolling fields, reflecting a commitment to sustainable grazing and small-scale stewardship. R&M Barker Land & Cattle LLC blends practical experience with focus on breed tradition to raise Chianina stock for a variety of agricultural settings. They maintain detailed records on lineage and weight gains to support informed breeding decisions and monitor herd health over time.
