CSB Shorthorns

CSB Shorthorns, run by Chris and Sarena Blotter, raises registered shorthorn cattle near Turtle Lake, North Dakota, in the heart of McLean County prairie roughly an hour north of Bismarck.

The herd's focus is on heritage genetics — specifically bulls sired by older shorthorn bloodlines from the 1960s and 1970s — as part of a deliberate effort to preserve the old-style shorthorn. The cattle trace 100% back to 19th-century foundation stock, often referred to as the Clay Importation, giving them a lineage distinct from modern shorthorn lines and a DNA profile that sets them apart from contemporary breeds.

Animals from this program are eligible for dual registration, qualifying with both the American Shorthorn Association and the American Milking Shorthorn Society, reflecting the herd's suitability as both beef and dual-purpose shorthorn cattle in North Dakota. For buyers interested in heritage beef crosses or dual-purpose crosses, the program offers animals carrying rare, traceable genetics that have become increasingly uncommon in commercial herds.
