Emily Adams

Emily Adams, Shorthorn cattle, Wilkinson, IN, is based in Knox County and the Evansville area. She maintains registration with the American Shorthorn Association and conducts recommended screenings for common genetic and infectious conditions. The herd grazes rotationally on pasture fertilized with organic compost and benefits from seasonal sheltering in spacious, straw-bedded barns that protect against extreme weather. Calves are born on pasture during mild seasons, raised in stable family groups, and introduced early to routine handling and health checks to encourage docility and resilience.

Pasture rotation is paired with supplemental mineral blocks and forage testing to promote balanced nutrition, soil health, and consistent forage quality year-round. Her approach blends traditional husbandry with attentive, sustainable practices to support ecosystem health and animal welfare. Emily’s work emphasizes the breed’s maternal strength, longevity, and sound conformation, qualities often discussed at local county fairs and agricultural workshops. Buyers comment on the cattle’s steady growth rates, efficient feed conversion, and calm temperament, noting their suitability for both breeding and beef production.
