Burke N. Allison & Co.

Burke N. Allison & Co. breeds shorthorn cattle in Washington, IN, southern Indiana near Evansville. The operation has grown steadily over more than 20 years of shorthorn breeding, and it holds full membership in the American Shorthorn Association, with all adults undergoing genetic screening and regular veterinary exams to maintain herd health.

Their cattle graze on a mix of clover and fescue pasture, rotating through paddocks to preserve grassland health, and each animal enjoys access to clean water, shelter, and daily low-stress handling sessions. Calves are socialized from birth alongside their mothers and introduced to small group settings to support strong social bonds and gentle temperaments. Under the care of Dale Allison, the family farm emphasizes responsible sustainable pasture management, ethical husbandry, and maintaining a lineage of well-balanced cattle that have performed well at county and regional exhibitions.
