Carolyn Norris

Carolyn Norris is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Van Alstyne, TX, North Texas near Dallas. She maintains a small herd under routine health testing and follows guidelines from the American Shorthorn Association to ensure sound genetics and temperament. Calves are raised in pasture with daily handling to build trust and early socialization, while mature animals graze on rotational paddocks that promote welfare and natural foraging behavior.

The ranch has grown over several years through careful selection focused on consistent frame and maternal strength. Past customers often admire the calm nature of the cattle and appreciate the transparency of farm practices. Herd sire and dam records are available on request to help prospective buyers evaluate performance in growth and calving ease. Breeding priorities include structural soundness and reproductive efficiency, with records kept to track performance across generations. Calving intervals are monitored for efficiency and cows receive balanced rations formulated to support lactation and reproductive health.
