River Haven Farms

River Haven Farms, breeders of Limousin cattle in Upland, IN, serves Grant County and the east-central Indiana region near Muncie. Kelly Whitesel and Chad Whitesel have been raising Limousin cattle for more than twenty years and maintain membership in the American Limousin Association. Their cattle undergo routine health screening and DNA testing to support breed standards and minimize hereditary issues.

Calves are born in open barns and spend their days on rotating pastures, where early handling and diverse forage help develop resilience. On-site facilities include shaded loafing areas and a sheltered calving shed, reflecting a commitment to natural husbandry. Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed pace and the family’s hands-on approach to animal well-being.

Originating on family land passed down through three generations, the farm reflects a legacy of livestock care. Detailed records of each animal’s lineage and performance are available to prospective buyers.
