Ryan & Robyn Samsel

Ryan & Robyn Samsel raise Hereford cattle in Cloverdale, IN, in Putnam County and the Midwest near Indianapolis. They have been working with Hereford cattle for more than a decade and are active members of the American Hereford Association. All breeding stock undergoes routine health testing, including fertility and genetic screenings, and receives regular veterinarian oversight.

Their cattle rotate through fenced pastures, enjoying open-air shelter in a timber-frame barn and straw bedding during colder months. Calves stay with their mothers for at least six months to support natural bonding and healthy development. The farm follows sustainable grazing practices, with natural forage complemented by quality mineral supplements and low-stress handling.

Several animals from their herd have earned recognition at county fairs for consistent weight gains and gentle temperaments. The Samsels offer follow-up guidance on herd management and are known for transparent communication.
