Reb Shorthorns

Reb Shorthorns, a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Rising Star, TX, serves Eastland County and the Fort Worth area. It has been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for over a decade, following American Shorthorn Association guidelines and conducting routine health screenings to support herd vitality.

The farm spans open grassland and creek-side woodland, where cattle graze under a rotational system that protects pasture health and offers varied forage. Barn facilities and shaded loafing areas offer protection during extreme weather, while pasture access lets the cattle express natural behaviors. Rebecca Bates handles calves from birth, nurturing calm temperaments and strong social skills through daily interaction. Each breeding decision balances maternal strength, growth potential and structural soundness to maintain genetic integrity across the herd. A local rancher recently noted the uniform conformation and gentle nature of its cattle, reflecting the farm’s steady focus on consistent quality for breeding and beef production.
