About the Farm

More than just a farm — a legacy.

A family-owned Texas Longhorn ranch in Waveland, Indiana, raised on three generations of farming heritage and a stubborn affection for a breed most folks have never seen up close.

Our Story

From a 4-H project to a way of life.

At Fun-EE Farm, we are more than just a farm — we are a family dedicated to honoring our heritage and building a legacy for future generations. Our journey began as our girls started showing animals in the local 4-H program. We became the Fun-EE Farm at that time as we chose animal breeds that were "different" than the norm, with a desire to bring something new for people to see and enjoy.

With a deep-rooted passion for the land and livestock, Nettie has been inspired by the hard work and dedication of her grandfather (Pappy), a Missouri farmer whose love for agriculture helped shape our vision. Phil was raised on a local farm where his father (Phil Sr.) worked as a hired hand.

Nestled in West Central Indiana, we specialize in raising registered Texas Longhorn cattle, known for their strength, resilience, and beauty. Our commitment to ethical, sustainable farming ensures that we provide the best care for our livestock while preserving the traditions of American ranching.

For us, this farm is more than just a business — it's a way of life. We are creating a foundation that our children can carry forward, instilling in them the values of hard work, respect for the land, and a love for agriculture. Whether you're here to learn about our Longhorns, support local farming, or simply connect with a family passionate about what they do, we welcome you to be a part of our journey.

From our family to yours — welcome to Fun-EE Farm.

Our Focus

Longhorns are more than just beef.

We are committed to raising registered Texas Longhorn cattle. Our focus is on breeding for impressive horn, correct frames, temperament, and color — using top genetics in the industry.

We sell breeding stock as well as freezer beef. Occasionally we will have skulls for sale. Visit us to witness firsthand the beauty and splendor of this historic breed.

Breeding Philosophy

What we breed for, in four words.

Every pairing on the farm goes through the same filter. Trade-offs are inevitable, but these are the four pillars.

Horn

We measure tip-to-tip on a schedule and breed for length, shape, and the kind of growth that keeps coming year after year.

Frame

Correct conformation that holds up under a long pasture career — good hip height, sound feet, balanced build.

Temperament

A disposition you can put a kid next to. We cull for it as hard as we cull for anything else.

Color

We choose pairings that bring variety. Half the fun is watching what the calves come out looking like.

The Breed

Why Longhorns?

We've raised plenty of breeds over the years. Longhorns are the ones we kept coming back to.

A Longhorn at Fun-EE Farm
  • A breed with American history

    Texas Longhorns are descended from cattle the Spanish brought over in the 1500s. They built the cattle industry of the American West and very nearly disappeared. We like being part of why they are still here.

  • Hardy, easy keepers

    Longhorns thrive on grass, calve unassisted, and shrug off most of what knocks other breeds down. Less intervention, less stress on the cow, less stress on us.

  • No two of them alike

    Color, pattern, horn shape — every Longhorn is its own thing. There is something to look at every time you walk out to the pasture.

  • Lean, flavorful beef

    Longhorn beef is leaner than mainstream cuts, low in cholesterol, and big on flavor. Customers who try it once tend to come back.

Stop by and meet them.
