Ken Jones, Shorthorn cattle, Pontiac, IL, Livingston County and Central Illinois near Bloomington. He has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade and maintains membership in national cattle associations while conducting routine health testing on each animal. His herd grazes on rotated pastures and benefits from a custom calving barn, with calves handled daily to encourage gentle temperaments. All livestock receive balanced feed rations formulated to meet their growth and reproductive needs.

Jones focuses on balanced genetics that support both beef quality and calm disposition, and he shares occasional updates from his family’s small working farm. Visitors often comment on the serene landscape and the careful attention given to every cow and calf. His approach emphasizes sustainable grazing, nutrition monitoring and early socialization in groups that mirror natural herd dynamics. Jones also offers guidance to new cattle owners on breeding selection and pasture management.
