Lazy B Lightning

Lazy B Lightning, a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Okanogan, WA, serves Okanogan County and the Wenatchee area. Founded by Patricia L Byrd, the ranch maintains a herd with foundation bloodlines chosen for maternal qualities and efficient feed conversion, guided by Shorthorn breed recommendations and best practices.

Lazy B Lightning supports national breed associations and follows industry health screening protocols for genetic soundness, with routine testing for traits like calving ease and growth rates. Its cattle graze freely on mixed-grass pasture, with regular handling to foster calm temperaments, early socialization and positive exposure to farm routines.

The farm’s barn, shaded loafing areas and secure paddocks provide shelter through varying seasons, allowing close observation of herd health and individual calf development. Nestled on family land stewarded for generations, the operation values transparent communication with buyers and encourages guided visits that highlight sustainable husbandry.
