One Straw Ranch Inc

One Straw Ranch Inc, Heritage Shorthorn cattle breeder in Chimacum, WA, operates in Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula near Seattle. Martin Frederickson follows breed association standards and conducts routine health testing throughout the year to support strong genetics and herd well-being.

Calves are raised on open pasture with a focus on gentle handling and gradual socialization from birth. Feed programs emphasize balanced forage and seasonal minerals to mirror natural grazing patterns. The ranch’s open-air barns and covered loafing sheds provide shelter through varied weather and help cattle develop resilience.

Families and smallholders often note the breed’s calm disposition and sturdy build when selecting stock for homestead or farm. This smaller herd size allows for individual health monitoring and fosters closer bonds between handlers and animals. Buyers appreciate transparent records of lineage and health evaluations, which accompany each calf leaving the property.
