Benchmark Shorthorns
Benchmark Shorthorns is a heritage Shorthorn breeder in Pearisburg, VA, serving Giles County and the New River Valley near Roanoke. It follows responsible breeding practices with registration through the American Shorthorn Association and routine health testing for all breeding stock.
Its cattle graze on mixed grass pastures rotated for forage diversity, and calves remain with their dams to foster natural social behavior. Born and raised on gently rolling farms, these cattle benefit from daily low-stress handling and clean, shelter-accessible paddocks.
Drawing on decades of local farming tradition, David Bender’s herd emphasizes sound structure and maternal strength in the southern highlands climate. Buyers note clear lineage documentation and visible herd well-being at every stage. Calving ease is a noted trait in their line, thanks to careful selection for moderate birth weights. Soil health and rotational grazing support vibrant forage and help maintain herd nutrition year-round.
