Fix Family Cattle Farm

Fix Family Cattle Farm, a family-run operation with Shorthorn cattle, Gibsonburg, OH, is in Sandusky County and the Lake Erie region near Toledo. Jackie Fix has spent several years raising Shorthorn cattle on the farm, refining selection for sound structure, coat quality, and calm temperament. Jackie Fix maintains herd health through routine veterinary screenings, balanced nutrition plans, and adherence to breed association guidelines. Their Shorthorn cattle graze on rotational pastures enriched with native grasses, and calves enjoy sheltered loafing areas that support natural behaviors and social bonding.

The farm’s care philosophy centers on low-stress handling techniques, regular social interaction, and calm environments that help calves develop friendly temperaments and resilience. Pasture rotation, supplemental hay feeding during winter, and a well-ventilated barn shelter safeguard nutritional and environmental needs year-round. Animal welfare standards guide every decision, from gentle calving protocols to gradual weaning methods, ensuring stress is minimized at each stage. Over the years, this small family operation has built a reputation for cattle with strong maternal instincts, balanced conformation, and consistent performance in both pasture and show settings.
