Donahue Shorthorns

Donahue Shorthorns is a shorthorn cattle breeder in Raymond, NE, in southeastern Nebraska near Lincoln. It is a member of the American Shorthorn Association and follows recommended health screening and genetic testing protocols to maintain herd integrity.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures with access to indoor barn stalls during winter months, and calves are handled daily to develop calm temperaments. From birth through weaning, animals receive tailored nutrition plans, regular wellness checks and low-stress management techniques. Breeding choices combine traditional lineage with selective performance data, supporting consistent growth rates and structural soundness across the herd.

Owner Andrew Donahue draws on a family ranching background to blend time-honored pasture management with current animal husbandry practices. A separate quarantine area and clean calving pens demonstrate attention to biosecurity and early-life care. Reputation among regional ranchers reflects hands-on animal stewardship and steady, transparent communication about herd health.
