Samuel E & Sue K Bushong

Samuel E & Sue K Bushong are Hereford cattle breeders in Warsaw, IN, in Kosciusko County near Fort Wayne. They have maintained herd book registration with the American Hereford Association and follow recommended health testing protocols for brucellosis and bovine viral diarrhea.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture with year-round access to sturdy barns and open-air loafing areas, and calves are gently handled from birth to encourage consistent socialization. Their approach emphasizes low-stress husbandry and regular observation to support animal welfare at every stage. The farm’s roots in the region trace back generations, reflecting a steady commitment to breeding cattle suited to both family farms and commercial operations. They offer a selection of registered bulls and replacement heifers evaluated for structural soundness and temperament. A focus on moderate frame size and strong maternal traits supports efficient growth and calving ease across the herd. Several animals have earned recognition at local livestock exhibitions and county fairs for their uniform conformation and deep red color.
