Tyler Erb

Tyler Erb breeds Shorthorn cattle in Millersburg, IN, Elkhart County and the Michiana region near South Bend. He follows breed registry guidelines and uses genetic screening alongside performance records to promote calving ease and stable temperament in his stock.

Routine vaccinations, parasite control, and hoof trimming are part of standard care, ensuring each animal thrives in changing seasons. Pasture-based grazing on well-managed paddocks encourages natural behaviors, and rotational fields support soil health and steady weight gain. The herd benefits from a family-run environment that emphasizes low-stress handling, early socialization, and respect for the animal’s natural rhythms.

Each calf undergoes daily handling from birth to build confidence and smooth future transitions, whether for breeding or beef production. Many offspring have gone on to local agricultural shows and regional beef quality programs, reflecting balanced performance and visual appeal. Lineage records are maintained for every animal, offering clear documentation for prospective breeders and confirming traceability for food safety standards.
