Collin Schabbing/Schabbing Shorthorn Farms

Collin Schabbing/Schabbing Shorthorn Farms, Shorthorn cattle, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in southeast Missouri and the Bootheel near St. Louis. They have been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than fifteen years under American Shorthorn Association guidelines and perform annual genetic screening to maintain herd health and diversity.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures, and calves receive daily handling from birth to promote calm temperaments. Collin and Michele Schabbing blend traditional family farming methods with data-driven nutrition plans, focusing on grass-based feeding and seasonal mineral supplements. Owners maintain detailed breeding records, participate in breed association events, and welcome farm visits to share their practices with new cattle owners.

All animals are registered and traceable through national databases, reflecting the farm’s focus on transparency and long-term herd sustainability. They follow recommendations from livestock health professionals and stay current with continuing education in animal welfare and biosecurity. This balanced approach has earned positive feedback from neighboring farmers and fair judges across Missouri.
