Jacqueline Rhoton

Jacqueline Rhoton raises Shorthorn cattle in Shiro, TX in Grimes County and east-central Texas near Houston. She brings more than a decade of experience and maintains regular health screenings while holding membership in the American Shorthorn Association.

The herd grazes on open pasture rich in native grasses, and calves are introduced to daily handling from birth to encourage calm temperaments. Adults are rotated between pasture and barn shelters with fresh bedding and constant access to clean water.

The operation draws on local ranching traditions and has been noted for producing Shorthorns that perform consistently at county fair livestock shows and regional breeding events. Visitors regularly remark on the herd’s sturdy build and gentle nature, reflecting an emphasis on animal welfare and careful genetics. She also prioritizes sustainable land management, using rotational grazing and soil conservation practices to support both herd health and environmental stewardship.
