Our Story
M5 Ag Services, LLC. is a family owned & operated cattle and row crop operation located in central Indiana. We grow corn, soybeans, and wheat but our passion has always been in the cattle industry. Over the years, our cattle numbers have grown, always placing an emphasis on efficiency and productivity. We make every effort to select cattle that match our environment. To us that means, a moderate frame, moderate milk production, and superior growth. This has led us to use gelbvieh, angus, and red angus influenced cows. We utilize rotational pastures, stockpiled forages, and corn stalks. We also put up hay and corn silage and purchase co-products for winter feeding. We expect our cattle to work for us and not the other way around. Cows are expected to calve with ease, breed back early, and wean off heavy calves. We also place a heavy emphasis on docility. Any animal that does not meet these requirements is culled out of the herd. We aim for cows to remain profitable in our herd for a long time. It’s common for our cows to last into their late teens.
Our lead cattle expert graduated with an animal science degree from Oklahoma State University. He then received a Master's degree in Ruminant Nutrition from Purdue University. He currently works for Great Plains Livestock Consulting Inc, traveling the Midwest working with feed mills and cattle operations. Through GPLC he offers independent nutrition and herd management consulting.
We also specialize in Heifer and Bull development programs. We bring in roughly 40-50 bulls every year, selected from over 800 cows across the Midwest. Our goal is to produce efficient and profitable breeding stock that last for several years wherever they go. We back these bulls with lifetime guarantees on docility and soundness.
We also offer feeder calves for sale and freezer beef. Feel free to contact us or stop by and visit any time.
