Blue Iron Farm

Blue Iron Farm breeds Shorthorn cattle in Alhambra, IL, Madison County near St. Louis. Trent Ross has been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years, is a member of the American Shorthorn Association and provides regular health screenings for all breeding stock. The cattle graze on rotational pastures and are handled daily to support calm temperaments and strong herd bonds.

Animals are born and raised onsite in a barn equipped for all seasons, with access to fresh water and shelter. Their approach balances traditional pasture management with modern genetics, so calves grow into sturdy cows and bulls suited for both small-scale dairy and beef operations. Information on lineage and herd performance is available to help buyers understand each animal’s background. Several offspring from their herds have been featured at regional fairs and are noted for their efficient feed conversion and consistent weight gains.
