Rock Hill Farm

Rock Hill Farm breeds heritage Shorthorn cattle in Ontario, California, in San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire near Los Angeles. Owner Kurt Mccauley has been working with this historic breed for more than a decade, following recommendations from the American Shorthorn Association and conducting regular health screenings and breeding soundness exams. Calves grow up with daily handling and rotational grazing on mixed grass pastures, and barns offer shelter through cooler months.

The operation combines modern herd health practices with traditional low stress handling on horseback, reflecting generations of ranching in the region. The farm stands on land cultivated by Kurt’s family for three generations, providing a sense of continuity and respect for breed heritage. Reviewers note the consistent temperament and uniform growth rates of the calves, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on balanced selection. Its programs support natural calf development and sound structure for a versatile herd suited to both grass finished and mixed production systems.
