Elizabeth Coggins

Elizabeth Coggins, shorthorn cattle, Roopville, GA, focuses on healthy, careful herd development in West Georgia near Atlanta. She works with the American Shorthorn Association and local extension advisers and veterinarians to stay current on genetics, health testing and calving best practices. Over several years she has maintained strict screening protocols for breeding stock, newborn calves and records for consistent outcomes. Calves are raised on open pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and proper social skills. Adult cattle graze rotationally through fenced paddocks with access to shade and shelter during extreme weather.

Elizabeth applies sustainable grazing practices to support soil health and animal well-being, integrating cover crops in winter feeding plans. Buyers often comment on the even temperaments, steady growth rates and adaptability of her stock. Her approach reflects respect for traditional farm methods while adhering to evolving welfare standards.
