R/T Shorthorns

R/T Shorthorns, Shorthorn cattle breeder in Isle, MN, serves Crow Wing County and central Minnesota near Minneapolis. Troy Tramm focuses on registration and health testing according to national Shorthorn cattle standards. Founded on family farmland, the operation balances traditional livestock practices with ongoing attention to genetic quality.

The herd grazes on open pastures, calves stay with their mothers, and daily handling is part of early socialization. In colder months the cattle are housed in a well-ventilated barn with straw bedding, and routine veterinary checks support herd health. The breeding stock includes lines known for consistent maternal traits and steady weight gain, reflecting a focus on functional performance. Several local farms mention the calm temperament and uniform appearance of these cattle in reviews. Troy also shares expertise at local agricultural events and collaborates with fellow breeders to promote sustainable cattle management.
