Emmalee Scott

Emmalee Scott is a shorthorn cattle breeder in Mapleton, IA, in Monona County near Sioux City. She works with the American Shorthorn Association and follows recommended health testing protocols, including yearly fertility and disease screenings.

She has been breeding shorthorns for over a decade, focusing on sound structure and feed efficiency. Sustainability is central to her operation, with managed grazing that enriches soil health and supports biodiversity. Her cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive regular handling to build calm temperaments, with calves raised alongside their dams in a family farm setting.

This long-term care approach has led to several state fair placings that showcase balanced frame and maternal traits. All calves are registered and come with three-generation pedigrees and detailed health records. Buyers often note the consistency of her stock and the friendly atmosphere when they visit the farm.
