Janet Lynn'S Shorthorns

Janet Lynn’s Shorthorns, Shorthorn cattle, Franklin, WV, are nestled in the Potomac Highlands near Harrisonburg. Janet Lynn Boggess has been breeding shorthorn cattle for over twenty years with affiliation to the American Shorthorn Association and routine health screenings for calving ease and vigor.

The farm began with a small foundation herd and expanded through careful selection of dam lines and performance records. Each pasture is managed with rotational grazing to protect soil health, and animals receive daily handling that encourages calm temperaments. Vaccinations and hoof trimmings follow a regular schedule to maintain strong, sound livestock.

Calves grow up in family barns where they meet visitors and develop confidence around people and farm machinery. Buyers often praise the consistent growth rates and docile nature of these cattle during local sales and community events. Janet Lynn’s Shorthorns blends tradition and hands-on care to support both animal welfare and beef quality.
