Troutman's Lost River Farm

Troutman’s Lost River Farm raises Hereford cattle in Shoals, Indiana, Martin County and southwestern Indiana near Evansville. The farm has been breeding Hereford cattle for several years following recognized breed standards and maintaining routine veterinary care and health screenings. Breeding decisions focus on maternal instincts and structural soundness to support low-stress calving and efficient growth. Historic barns on the property provide shelter during calving and harsh weather, highlighting the farm’s long-standing commitment to animal welfare.

Calves graze on open pastures along the Lost River and receive daily handling to encourage a calm temperament. Indoor shelter and shaded loafing areas are provided through all seasons to ensure herd comfort and resilience. Rotational grazing supports soil health and wildlife diversity, reflecting a blend of tradition and sustainable practices. One reviewer remarked that the cattle showed consistent weight gain and a stable disposition under their care.
