Waukaru Farms Inc

Waukaru Farms Inc is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Rensselaer, Indiana, serving Northwest Indiana near Chicago. Established over two decades ago, the farm maintains registrations with reputable livestock associations, conducts routine health screenings for genetics and disease prevention, and conducts regular hoof and welfare assessments.

Its cattle graze rotationally across well-managed mixed grass pastures, where calves receive daily handling to support confident temperaments. The team follows time-honored practices that balance modern nutrition plans with pasture growth and staged rotations, ensuring calves adapt smoothly to local climates. Calves remain on pasture alongside a spring-fed pond, promoting hydration and natural exercise. Family stewardship guides every decision at the farm, reflecting four generations of agricultural experience. Many local farmers appreciate the consistency in weight gain and calving ease noted in recent county fair reports. The farm’s show-quality heifers have earned recognition at regional exhibitions, underscoring its commitment to both form and function.
