Ryan Wallace

Ryan Wallace, Shorthorn cattle, Hope, IN in the Ohio River Valley near Louisville. It adheres to breed standards set by the American Shorthorn Association, and daily veterinary health screenings ensure each herd member meets guidelines for vaccination, parasite control, and fertility assessment.

Calves graze on open pastures divided by rotational fencing and mixed grass forage, receiving daily gentle handling that encourages confidence and early socialization. A family-on-farm model means each animal is known by name, and carefully maintained records track growth, temperament notes, and lineage details. Shorthorn cattle are valued for adaptability, feed efficiency, and gentle dispositions, qualities emphasized through selective pairing and close observation of temperament.

The farm’s rolling pastures, bordered by a small woodland, provide varied terrain that supports natural foraging and encourages healthy mobility. Each year, a limited number of weaned calves become part of area herds where customers note consistent weight gains and calm temperaments. Composting manure for fertilizer and rotating pastures support soil health and reflect a long-standing dedication to sustainable stewardship.
