Little Sisters Show Cattle

Little Sisters Show Cattle is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Williamsburg, MI, Grand Traverse County near Traverse City. Doug Thomas has managed the family-run farm for several years with memberships in the Michigan Cattlemen’s Association and participation in breed improvement programs, and he follows recommended health testing for genetic and disease traits.

The herd grazes on rotationally managed pastures with sheltered loafing areas, and calves experience daily handling from birth to encourage calm temperaments and social development. Animals live in a mixed-grass pasture system with access to covered shelters and clean water, supporting both physical health and natural behaviors.

Cattle from the farm regularly appear at local agricultural fairs and sales, reflecting a long tradition of careful selection and consistent performance. The operation maintains detailed records of growth rates and maternal performance to guide breeding decisions on future herds. This emphasis on balanced nutrition, structured handling, and record keeping supports animals that perform well in both show rings and commercial production.
