Larry Yorlets

Larry Yorlets raises Shorthorn cattle in Carlisle, PA, in the Cumberland Valley near Harrisburg. He has focused on registered stock for over a decade, ensuring each animal undergoes routine health screenings and performance evaluations.

The herd grazes on seasonal mixed-grass pastures with access to ample shelter and clean water, and calves are handled daily to build calm temperaments. Their approach balances traditional husbandry with attention to soil health and forage diversity.

The farm’s open-barn design allows cattle freedom to seek shade or sunshine based on their needs, and the facility supports rotational grazing to maintain pasture vitality. Local purchasers often cite the gentle disposition and sound structure of these cattle when selecting breeding stock. Facilities include sturdy fencing and well-drained paddocks that protect the herd during wet seasons. Breeding decisions emphasize fertility and maternal ability to promote long-term herd health.
