Sheets Chiangus

Sheets Chiangus, Chianina cattle, West Lafayette, IN, is a family-run operation in north-central Indiana near Indianapolis. The farm has been raising Chianina cattle for several years with registry participation and routine health screening.

Attention to pasture rotation and low-stress handling helps calves thrive, and regular veterinary care and genetic monitoring guide breeding decisions to maintain robust livestock. Dr Robin D Sheets brings a background in veterinary science, which informs each step of husbandry and early socialization. The farm’s commitment to responsible stewardship reflects in steady growth of healthy, well-tempered animals suited to various small-scale operations.

Calves join group paddocks early and benefit from shaded loafing areas and shelter sheds for unpredictable weather. Feed rations combine homegrown hay and locally milled grains to support growth without antibiotics or growth hormones. Breeding stock is selected for genetic diversity and structural soundness, ensuring calves inherit both size and gentle dispositions.
