Brooke Mckean

Brooke Mckean, Shorthorn cattle, Bedias, TX, serving Grimes County and the Brazos Valley near Houston. She has been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years, following breed association guidelines and maintaining annual health screenings for all breeding stock.

Vaccinations and parasite control are managed in consultation with local veterinarians and recorded for each animal. The herd grazes on rotating pastures, and each animal receives daily handling to encourage calm behavior and ease of interaction. Pedigree records are carefully maintained to support sound genetics and track performance traits across generations.

The ranch blends traditional cattle care with practices that support soil health and native grasslands. Facilities include a sheltered calving barn and wide, low-stress handling corridors to ensure safety and comfort. Calves are introduced to new environments early to foster adaptable temperaments, and visitors regularly comment on the herd’s steady condition throughout the year.
