6B Farms

6B Farms is a family-run breeder of Shorthorn cattle in Allison, IA, Butler County in northeast Iowa near Waterloo. It follows American Shorthorn Association guidelines and conducts regular health screenings focused on joint health, eye clarity, and temperament. For over fifteen years, the farm has refined its breeding program to emphasize structural soundness, maternal traits, calving ease, and longevity. Feeding follows a grass-based diet supplemented with quality hay, mineral programs, and seasonal forage to support steady growth and overall health.

Calves are raised alongside their mothers in low-density pastures and sheltered paddocks to promote natural behaviors, resilience, and early socialization under attentive care. As a family-run operation, it balances modern breeding insights with time-tested husbandry practices. Several calves have placed well in regional livestock shows, earning recognition for conformation, temperament, and balanced muscling across multiple age groups. Buyers value transparent lineage records, detailed performance data, and consistent quality across each calf crop.
