Shady Lawn Farm

Shady Lawn Farm is a breeder of Hereford cattle in Bourbon, IN, northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. The farm has been an active member of the American Hereford Association for over a decade and adheres to standard health screening and genetic testing guidelines. Routine veterinary check-ups, parasite control, and balanced nutrition are tailored to each animal’s stage of life.

Calves are born in spacious barns before grazing on rotational pastures where early handling promotes steady growth and calm temperaments. Brood cows produce uniformly marked calves with sturdy frames suited for both agricultural shows and commercial herds. The farm’s pasture-based system and paddock designs reflect attention to soil health and forage variety.
