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 2021 NAILE Jr. Champion, Windy Meadow Diva
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.
Countyline Ida USD44799-B
Ida was a wonderful addition to our herd back in 2001. She is not only one of our most beautiful cows, she is extremely good natured! She's only gotten better with each calf she's had.
WIndy Meadow Diva USD46325-B
A Sunnybrook Brody daughter, Windy Meadow Diva has all the depth, and maternal value you could ask for in a brood cow. Her dam has never needed calving assistance, and usually just shows up at the barn one day with calf in tow. Diva is expecting her first calf this spring and we are thrilled to see what she adds to our herd.
Other Farm Friends

A sweet stray kitty that "adopted" us....S'mores now has a forever home with us and intimidates the mice around our barn!
