Our Animals
The "stars" of our show
Without our animals, we couldn't do what we do. So we'd like you to meet some of the amazing livestock that call Windy Meadow Farms home and have helped build our herds.
The joy of new life
Our animals give us a deep appreciation for each new day as we witness the cycle of life repeated each year on our farm.
A little show business
Our Belties have been shown at various shows, including the Indiana State Fair, the Indiana Jr. Beef Cattle Association circuit, and NAILE. With the addition of some promising genetics, we are excited about the future of our breeding program!
Our Herdsires
Ferdinand
Meet our newest addition, Eckelman's Ferdinand. USD45620-B, a son of Sunnybrook Soprano x Eckelman's Dora. Ferd is a sweetie and a looker. Built with enough muscle, balance and eye appeal, we are excited for his future here!
Brody
Sunnybrook Brody USD41465-B is a product of Countyline Connor (a Platinum Lifetime bull) x Sunnybrook Jacy. While he has now moved on to a new herd, we continue to have his influence here through a few of his daughters and our 2019 NAILE Jr. Champion, Windy Meadow Fiesta.
A Few Other Farm Friends
Our hens
From Silver Cuckoo Marans to Exchequer Leghorns, our hens are a source of free range fresh eggs and a little feathered friendship!
Charlotte
Our sweet Charlotte was adopted from some very dear friends who moved out of state and could not take her with them. She now has a forever home with us and intimidates the mice around our barn!
A Few of Our Females
Windy Meadow Fiesta USD43468-B
We are ecstatic to have a young female of this caliber born right here on our farm. Fiesta was Grand Champion heifer at the 2019 National Belted Galloway Jr. Show at NAILE. She is sired by the legendary Countyline Connor and out of Stonesthrow Ubetcha, a proven Platinum Lifetime cow that remains productive in her golden years. Fiesta has a bright future and we are thrilled to have her here at our farm.
Stonesthrow Ubetcha USD30276-B
Ubetcha, known to us at "Bet", is a Platinum Lifetime award winner. She has had tremendous success in the show ring as well as her offspring. Bet is still going strong at 11 yrs old and we are thrilled to have recently gotten another heifer calf from her, Windy Meadow Gwyneth. (sired by Sunnybrook Brody) She has great maternal instincts and adds remarkable frame size.
Sunnybrook Eclipse USD37096-B
Eclipse was added in 2018, and we are excited for what she can bring to the plate. Sired by Sunnybrook Eastwood, (a son of Ubetcha) out of Sunnybrook Legacy, this gal has some exciting genetics to offer.
