Dedmon Shorthorns

Dedmon Shorthorns raises Shorthorn cattle in Shelby, NC, Cleveland County and the foothills near Charlotte.

Roy D Dedmon and Rodney K Dedmon have been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years and maintain membership in regional cattle breeder associations. They adhere to health and genetic screenings that meet industry standards and schedule routine veterinary checkups. The herd grazes on pasture with rotational fencing and enjoys covered loafing sheds for seasonal shelter. Calves are handled gently from birth to ensure early socialization and familiarization with farm routines.

Their family operation values hardiness and maternal traits, resulting in cattle that perform well in both beef production and show rings. Several of their offspring have earned recognition at local agricultural events, reflecting the farm’s steady focus on sound breeding and animal wellbeing. The farm sits on rolling acres that balance open pastures and shade trees to support cattle comfort.
