Frank Lamphier & Sons

Frank Lamphier & Sons is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Horse Cave, Kentucky, serving Hart County and south central Kentucky near Bowling Green. The operation follows American Shorthorn Association guidelines and conducts regular health testing, including fertility screenings and calf wellness checks. For more than a decade, pasture-based breeding has focused on balanced frame, muscle development and consistent marbling. Calves are raised on native grasses and receive daily handling, which supports gentle temperaments and easy transitions to new environments.

As a farm rooted in over three generations of family stewardship, Frank Lamphier & Sons emphasizes sustainable grazing, rotational pasturing and close collaboration with local veterinarians. Its cattle have earned ribbons at regional fairs and find homes in both small-scale farms and hobby herds across the state of Kentucky, with many owners praising the breed’s hardy nature and steady growth rates.
