12 Mile Beef

12 Mile Beef raises Shorthorn cattle in California, KY, Campbell County and northern Kentucky near Cincinnati. Jonathan Neltner operates the farm with close attention to breed association guidelines, maintains herd records in national registries, and participates in traceability programs overseen by cattle associations. Health screenings follow recommended protocols, including vaccinations and disease checks at key life stages, to ensure robust cattle and transparent lineage.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures supplemented with trace minerals to support growth and overall well-being. The farm environment encourages natural behaviors and calm handling from birth through finishing, while calving schedules align with industry best practices to promote maternal health. A local review highlights consistent weight gains and friendly dispositions among the cattle.

Rooted in family farm traditions, the operation reflects a respect for Kentucky’s agricultural heritage. 12 Mile Beef blends careful husbandry with time-tested bloodlines to maintain balanced traits in every calf.
