Robsten Shorthorns-Preheim Family

Robsten Shorthorns-Preheim Family breeds Shorthorn cattle in Houston, MO, in Texas County and the Ozarks near Springfield. Their operation has been focused on sound conformation and gentle temperaments for many years, following breed association guidelines and recommended health protocols. Calves are raised on pasture with daily handling to encourage calm behavior and are supplemented with local forage to support steady growth.

Their approach combines traditional pasture management with close attention to herd health under Missouri’s seasonal conditions. They adhere to sustainable practices by rotating pastures and monitoring water quality on site, supported by ongoing veterinary partnerships that ensure each animal meets health benchmarks and breeding goals. Visitors often note the family’s welcoming manner and the transparency of animal records, which track lineage and performance across the herd. The Preheim family has built relationships with area agricultural shows and cooperative networks to stay connected with local producers.
