Hannah E. Kerby

Hannah E. Kerby raises Shorthorn cattle in Philadelphia, TN, in southeast Tennessee near Chattanooga. She has several years of experience and follows American Shorthorn Association guidelines for health testing and genetic selection.

Calves are raised in rotational pastures and receive daily handling to support their calm temperament and early adaptation to farm life. Adult animals graze native grasses and enjoy shelter in open-sided barns, with veterinary partnerships overseeing routine screenings. Feeding includes locally milled grains blended with hay and pasture supplements to promote steady growth and milk production.

The operation focuses on balanced conformation and sound structure, with several stock showing in local fairs that highlight their breed type. Breeding goals emphasize temperament, fertility, and longevity, supporting productive herds for both beef and breeding stock. Buyers appreciate Kerby’s clear communication and the transparency of health records provided with each registration.
