Ashgriff Farms

Ashgriff Farms, Simmental cattle, Shelbyville, KY, sits in Shelby County and the Bluegrass region near Louisville. The farm has been raising Simmental cattle for several years and maintains registration through the American Simmental Association, following recommended health screenings for fertility and calving ease. Animals graze on rotational pastures under close monitoring, and calves receive early handling to support gentle dispositions and ease of management.

On the family’s multi-generational farmland, selection focuses on balanced traits for both pasture performance and feedlot readiness, drawing interest from local feeders and small-scale producers. A winter feeding program combines stored forages with formulated rations to maintain body condition through cold months.

Several cattle from the herd have placed at county fairs and local shows, reflecting the herd’s consistent quality. Customers note the cattle’s calm temperament and ability to adapt smoothly when moved to new environments. Routine veterinary checkups and a biosecurity plan help maintain a healthy herd year-round.
