Smith Family Farms

Smith Family Farms raises Shorthorn cattle in Pendleton, Indiana, in Madison County and east-central Indiana near Indianapolis.

Neal and Jennifer Smith have been breeding these cattle for over a decade, following industry-standard health-testing recommendations and registry guidelines. The farm’s roots date back three generations, with a family tradition that emphasizes respect for livestock welfare. Their Shorthorns graze on rotational pastures, receive daily handling from an early age, and live in barns with spacious stalls and clean bedding.

They focus on structural soundness and balanced conformation, which supports healthy development and has drawn attention at regional agricultural shows. The Smiths attend extension workshops and local fairs to stay current on breeding practices and herd management techniques. Customers appreciate the personal care their animals receive and often comment on the cattle’s steady growth and calm temperament. Their commitment extends to gentle weaning practices.
