Duffy Farms

Duffy Farms, Shorthorn cattle, Sumner, IA, Bremer County and the Cedar Valley near Waterloo. Pat Duffy has raised Shorthorn cattle for over two decades, registers each animal with the American Shorthorn Association, and conducts regular health screening for genetic and reproductive soundness.

Animals graze on mixed-grass pastures and calves are gently handled daily to foster calm temperaments, with well-ventilated barns available throughout the year. Several of their cattle have earned ribbons at county and state fairs, reflecting careful selection for both form and disposition. Visitors note the clear breeding records and open layout that make each farm tour an easy way to learn about Shorthorn stewardship.

The operation traces back three generations of Duffy family farming, blending time-tested practices with modern herd management. Duffy Farms works closely with local feedlots and meat processors, ensuring each steer meets quality standards before it moves on to market.
