Brian Fox is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Kanawha, IA, Hancock County and North Iowa near Mason City. He has participated in the broader Shorthorn community, following routine health screenings and genetic evaluations while keeping registrations current with relevant associations. Fox raises his herd on rotationally grazed pastures, allowing cattle to develop in a low-stress environment and receive hands-on socialization from an early age.

His attention to balanced temperament and sound conformation has drawn positive feedback from neighboring operations. The operation integrates sustainable practices and seasonal grazing rotations to support herd health and care for the surrounding land. Routine veterinary checks and strategic nutrition plans further ensure the herd’s resilience through changing seasons. Fox maintains a closed herd policy to minimize disease risk and prioritizes traceability for each animal. The result is a line of well-balanced Shorthorn calves suited for breeding programs and commercial herds.
