Calf viewing trip to northern Indiana

[dutch pride]

We will be making a trip down from Michigan on Labor day. We will be traveling down I69 towards Indy and then back north in the western part of the state. If anyone has any suggestions as to farms we might want to check out or want us to come see what they have to offer, please respond or PM me. We will be looking for steers that can win a County Fair and maybe a heifer or two.

Thanks

Try Ron Martin.  He's Phildon Farms at Greenfield, just east of Indy.  Ron knows his cattle and tells it like it is.

If you go through the books and websites you'll find a whole bunch to look at through that area. Ott, Dice, Brumbaugh, Henney, Max Fawley, Whitley Co. group, and plenty others around between Angola and Ft Wayne. You can spend a couple days in about 3 counties there if you don't hurry. Dillon and Sills are right on 69 at Fairmount and have had a really good set of county steers the last couple of years, then if you get as far south as the Muncie area you aren't that far from the 5 Star group, which generally has a good set as well. You'll find most of these guys on the web and in the magazines. Also, if you head east instead of west from the Ft Wayne area it is probably under an hour to parts of Ohio where I know you can find a very good set of top end county steers at Shatto, Egbert, Winegardner, Daniels, Siegriest, and others.

Thanks to all who posted and PM'd with suggestions, We were not able to hit them all on our trip yesterday but we seen about 100 calves at several different places. Had a great time meeting some new folks and revisiting some old acquaintances. Now the tough part, deciding which calves to bid on. Allways a challenge to try to find the best calves that fit our price range.
