Cargo Stock Farm

Cargo Stock Farm is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Kathryn, ND, in the Great Plains near Fargo. Founded by Preston Cargo, this family-run farm participates in national breeding programs, adheres to recommended health testing protocols, and maintains enrollment in registry records.

Their cattle graze on open pastures under rotational grazing plans, receive routine veterinary care, and benefit from daily handling by family members. Breeding choices focus on strong maternal traits, structural soundness, and balanced performance criteria to produce resilient calves and efficient feeders.

The team at Cargo Stock Farm maintains a modest herd size to ensure personalized attention and stress-free handling, resulting in a calm temperament noted by neighbors and visiting fellow cattlemen. Nutrition hinges on forage-led rations supplemented with locally sourced grains, supporting steady growth while respecting the natural digestive needs of Shorthorn cattle. With a commitment to transparent record keeping and long-term herd health, they foster livestock that thrive in the North Dakota climate and offer consistent carcass quality across breeding cycles.
