Ashland Farm Shorthorns

Ashland Farm Shorthorns is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Sedalia, MO, serving Pettis County and central Missouri near Kansas City. James Sneed has been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for years and follows American Shorthorn Association health-testing recommendations.

Calves are raised in a pasture-based system with daily handling to encourage gentle temperaments. The herd grazes on mixed grass pastures managed for sustainable grazing and seasonal forage, with shelter and winter housing designed for comfort. This family-run farm maintains a closed herd policy, routine veterinary care, and tailored nutrition plans. Prioritizing sound feet, balanced genetics, and consistent calving ease, their cattle contribute durable performance to both commercial and small-scale operations. Livestock are cared for individually from birth to breeding age, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare and long-term herd health. Animals are selected for maternal strength and feed efficiency, making them a common choice for sustainable beef programs.
