Michael Smith

Michael Smith is a breeder of Shorthorn cattle in Lacey, WA, in Thurston County and the Puget Sound near Olympia. He has been raising quality herds for over a decade, with membership in the American Shorthorn Association and routine genetic and health testing for breeding stock.

Animals graze on rotational pastures supplemented by locally sourced feed, and calves are handled gently to support early socialization and ease of transition to new homes. Several of his cows have placed in regional shows, reflecting a focus on temperament and structural soundness that carries through each generation.

Michael Smith balances practical farm traditions with modern care standards to ensure every calf meets a high level of health and suitability for ranches across the region. Visitors to the Lacey farm often note the clean barns and attentive care routines that help calves thrive from birth.
