Gary Albertson

Gary Albertson raises Shorthorn cattle in Wheeling, MO, Buchanan County and the Missouri Valley near St. Joseph. He has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for over a decade and maintains membership in national breed associations, following all recommended health and genetic testing. Calves are born in open pastures and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and early socialization.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures managed to promote sustainable land use and animal welfare. Local farmers often note the cattle’s sturdy build and reliable maternal traits, reflecting Albertson’s focus on temperament and longevity. Each animal is evaluated throughout its growth stages for structural soundness and genetic strength, ensuring calves exhibit the balanced frame and docile nature characteristic of quality Shorthorn bloodlines. Although Albertson welcomes questions from local agriculture enthusiasts, he maintains a focus on sustaining herd health through rotational grazing, seasonal vaccinations and feed rations tailored to each group’s nutritional needs.
