Celtic Cross Farm

Celtic Cross Farm, breeders of shorthorn cattle in Smiths Grove, KY, is located in Warren County and the south-central Kentucky region near Bowling Green.

It has been raising shorthorn cattle for more than ten years, maintains membership in national breed associations, and follows recommended health-testing protocols including routine veterinary screening. Animals live primarily on pasture with access to shade and shelter, and they receive regular handling to support calm, confident temperaments.

Tom Kingery runs the farm from a multi-generation family property, where careful pasture rotation and herd social dynamics guide its husbandry approach. Calves are introduced to handling early, which promotes steady human interaction and helps them adapt to varying pasture conditions. Feed consists of rotationally grazed forage supplemented with mineral blends tailored to shorthorn nutritional needs, and the farm works closely with a local veterinarian. A nearby rancher notes the cattle’s steady build and gentle nature, reflecting a focus on balanced growth and consistent care.
