Mathew Berger & Family

Mathew Berger & Family are Shorthorn cattle breeders in Fountain City, Indiana, in east-central Indiana near Muncie. They have over fifteen years of experience, hold membership in the American Shorthorn Association and conduct routine health screenings for breeding stock. The family-run operation traces its roots across multiple generations, providing a wealth of experience in pasture management and animal welfare. All breeding animals undergo genetic evaluation to promote longevity and mothering ability in future herds.

Animals graze on rotational pastures, receive daily social interaction and rest in a climate-controlled barn during winter months. The herd size allows individualized attention and early handling to support calm temperaments. Mathew Berger & Family maintain detailed herd records and have earned ribbons at local fairs for structural soundness and gentle disposition. Calves remain with their dams through weaning to nurture strong maternal bonds and a resilient start to adult life.
