Double A Cattle

Double A Cattle raises Shorthorn cattle in Homeworth, OH, in Columbiana County and the Mahoning Valley near Youngstown. It is owned by Mike Courtney, who has guided the farm through more than twenty years of breeding under American Shorthorn Association guidelines and routine genetic health screening.

The herd grazes on rotational pasture, with attention to nutrition and regular veterinary checkups that support strong growth and gentle dispositions. Calves spend their first weeks close to the herd and receive daily handling to promote calm interaction with people. Winter housing includes ventilated barns and individual pens to protect against cold stress while maintaining social contact. The family-run farm traces its roots to Mike’s grandfather, blending time-honored husbandry with current livestock wellness practices for cattle valued by both smallholders and larger operations. Mike holds membership in the local agriculture cooperative and attends annual livestock conferences to stay current on best practices.
