Christopher & Dana Burns

Christopher & Dana Burns are Shorthorn cattle breeders in Bedias, TX, southeast Texas near Houston. They have been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for over a decade, maintaining detailed breeding records and ensuring herd health through regular veterinary checks, fertility evaluations, and genetic screening. The couple participates in regional cattle associations, attends industry conferences, and supports genetic diversity initiatives to foster sustainable herds.

The cattle rotate through well-managed pastures and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and adaptability. Their pasture system includes rotational grazing to support soil health and animal welfare. Calving occurs in spring under shelter designed for comfort and health, and calves are introduced to mixed forage diets early. Based on family heritage, their farm has evolved over generations, blending hands-on knowledge with contemporary welfare practices. Their breeding focus balances performance with ease of calving to meet diverse farming needs.
