Ben Warfield

Ben Warfield, Shorthorn cattle, Marriottsville, Maryland, raises his herd in Howard County near Baltimore. He has worked with Shorthorn cattle for several years and maintains registrations with recognized breed associations, ensuring routine veterinary health screenings and adherence to industry guidelines. His farm practices emphasize rotational grazing and sustainable land management that support animal welfare and environmental stewardship.

Calves are handled gently from a young age, allowing for early socialization that contributes to calm, resilient animals suited for both breeding and exhibition. With facilities designed for low-stress handling, every animal benefits from clean barns, fresh water sources and regular pasture moves to mimic natural grazing patterns. Ben’s approach combines practical husbandry knowledge with a respect for tradition, resulting in a small but well-maintained Shorthorn herd that reflects his dedication to quality and responsible breeding. He regularly attends regional livestock fairs and exchanges breeding insights with fellow Shorthorn enthusiasts to continuously refine his program.
