Dice Cattle Co

Dice Cattle Co, Chianina, Avilla, IN, is situated in Noble County and the Fort Wayne area. Mary Jo Dice has been raising cattle for more than a decade and maintains registrations with the American Chianina Association and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. All herd sires and dams undergo regular health screenings for genetic conditions, structural soundness and parasite management programs overseen by a local veterinarian. Animals graze on rotational pastures that allow regrowth of native grasses and are handled daily for vaccination clinics, hoof care and socialization to ensure calm temperaments.

Calves are weaned in a climate-controlled barn with comfortable bedding, fresh water access and space for gradual transition off pasture. Young calves spend time alongside sibling groups in open pens and enjoy daily handling to build trust and resilience. Record keeping for growth rates, feed efficiency and breeding performance supports informed improvements and traceability for each animal. One recent review praised their gentle calves, detailed updates on herd health and straightforward communication throughout the process.
