Drs. Joseph & Susan Schallberger

Drs. Joseph & Susan Schallberger, milking Shorthorn cattle breeders in Dallas, OR, serve Polk County and the Willamette Valley near Salem. Their herd is managed with A2 genetics and routine Johne’s disease and BLV testing, reflecting over twenty years of careful stewardship and affiliation with national breed registries.

Animals thrive on rotational grazing pastures without growth promoters, and calves are introduced to handling routines early to support a calm temperament. The farmstead dates to mid-20th century roots, blending family traditions with modern data recording for breeding decisions. Semen from select bulls is available to enhance herd quality.

This balanced approach supports long-term health and sustainable production across both beef and dairy lines. Winter housing includes spacious barns with deep-bedded stalls, and herd records are maintained electronically for tracking performance and ensuring traceability. Animal welfare is guided by a hands-on philosophy that emphasizes pasture access and minimal confinement.
