Bridle Path Ranch

Bridle Path Ranch is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Manassas, VA, serving Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C. Wilbur L Peart has been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade, holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association, and maintains detailed herd records tracing pedigrees.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures and undergoes recommended health screening to support genetic stability. Calves are handled gently and introduced to human interaction early to encourage steady growth and calm temperaments. Biosecurity measures are in place, and routine vaccinations are administered under veterinary supervision. Feeding combines pasture grazing with custom mineral blends to meet nutritional needs across life stages. Several animals have earned regional show placements, and the ranch’s modest scale allows personalized attention to each animal’s development while maintaining transparent records. Local veterinarians note the ranch’s adherence to recommended husbandry practices, particularly in calf health and forage management.
