Thompson Family Herefords

Thompson Family Herefords, Hereford cattle, Greencastle, IN, west central Indiana near Indianapolis, is dedicated to raising hardy beef cattle. The operation follows American Hereford Association standards and works closely with veterinarians for regular health screenings that support sound conformation and calm temperament. Each calf is raised on rotating pastures with daily handling to encourage calm behavior and easy integration into herd dynamics.

For three generations the family has nurtured cattle with stewardship that blends time-honored pasture rotation and attentive livestock care. Owners often praise the gentle disposition of the herd and consistent weight gains under the farm’s grass-based system. Feeding programs blend on-site hay with mineral supplements tailored to each growth stage, promoting balanced nutrition and steady development. The herd rotates through well-maintained paddocks, and biosecurity measures are in place to minimize disease risk. Calf sales occur in fall and spring, reflecting the herd’s steady calving intervals and detailed record-keeping.
