The Herd

Welcome to our farm, where quality meets tradition through our exceptional herd of Shorthorn cattle. We chose Shorthorns for their docility, high fertility, and superior carcass traits. Our primary objective is to develop a genetically and phenotypically sound herd that not only delivers premium beef to our customers but also serves as foundation animals for herds throughout the Pacific Northwest.

​

Shorthorns are renowned for their calm temperament, maternal instincts, and the highest marbling percentage among all cattle breeds. These traits result in cows that raise calves capable of thriving on mother’s milk, performing well on grass, and finishing beautifully on grains. The combination of these factors ensures our beef is tender, flavorful, and of the highest quality.

At our farm, we prioritize quality over quantity in every aspect of our operations. This commitment to excellence is why we invest in Shorthorns. Through selective breeding, artificial insemination, and sourcing the best cattle and sires from across the United States, we maintain a small yet top-quality herd. This dedication allows us to provide our beef customers with premium products while creating foundation animals for other farms.
