Brandon Barr

Brandon Barr is a breeder of Shorthorn cattle in Xenia, OH, Greene County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. With several years of experience and membership in the American Shorthorn Association, he prioritizes ultrasound and genomic testing to support herd health. Transparent records on genetic indexes and calving ease help guide breeding decisions.

The herd grazes in rotational pastures with access to fresh water and mineral supplements to promote natural foraging. Daily inspections and gentle handling help young calves build confidence around people, while regular hoof and veterinary care keeps mature cattle sound. Some of his cattle trace lineage to state fair grand champions, reflecting a focus on both temperament and structural soundness.

The operation takes place on a family-run farm with a legacy of over three decades in livestock production. Visitors describe a relaxed atmosphere where animal welfare guides every routine task.
