Hellwege Shorthorns

Hellwege Shorthorns are Shorthorn breeders in Frohna, MO, Perry County and the Southeast Missouri region near Cape Girardeau. They have been raising cattle for several decades according to American Shorthorn association guidelines and maintain routine herd health testing.

Calves are born and raised on managed pasture rotations to encourage robust growth and frequent interaction helps develop calm, steady temperaments. The Hellwege family runs the farm with a focus on soil health, using sustainable practices that support both the animals and surrounding landscape.

Each animal benefits from individualized care, with calves receiving early handling to build trust and ease adjustment to new environments. Stock from Hellwege Shorthorns has been used in small-scale conservation grazing projects, reflecting the farm’s commitment to balanced ecosystems.
