Matthew Duvall

Matthew Duvall breeds Shorthorn cattle in Barnesville, OH, serving southeastern Ohio and the Midwest near Columbus. His operation follows established health testing protocols, participates in national registry programs and maintains detailed lineage records. Calves are raised on open pasture with daily handling to promote balanced temperaments, and pastures are rotated to support grass quality and reduce parasite risk.

A local veterinarian partner supports routine health checkups, vaccinations and advice on herd wellness, while barn facilities offer shelter during Ohio’s colder months. The herd combines traits for longevity, maternal ability and beef quality through careful selection of bulls and cows with proven performance. Shorthorn cattle are known for their versatility in both beef and dairy traits, and his herd reflects this balanced profile. Clients often note the cattle’s calm disposition, steady growth rates and suitability for small to large operations alike.
