Old Road Bed Show Cattle

Old Road Bed Show Cattle is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Upper Sandusky, OH, in northwestern Ohio near Toledo. For more than a decade Tim Rife has focused on producing animals that excel in confirmation and temperament, with all breeding stock registered with the American Shorthorn Association and screened for common genetic health markers. Herds graze on rotating pastures, and calves spend time in social groups from an early age to support steady growth and calm handling.

Tim’s approach combines traditional ranching methods with close attention to daily welfare, ensuring animals are accustomed to regular human interaction and seasonal weather changes. The farm’s steady presence in local fairs reflects a commitment to consistency rather than fleeting trends. Clients often note the gentle nature of the cattle and the personalized care each animal receives. Each calf leaves with detailed health records and regular updates on growth milestones, and animals from the farm often place well at regional exhibitions.
