Ruth Stevenson

Ruth Stevenson, Shorthorn cattle, Pickford, MI, in the Upper Peninsula near Sault Ste. Marie, is a small family farm devoted to breeding cattle with sound structure and even temperament. Stevenson follows breed association guidelines and conducts routine health testing to support herd vitality. Calving takes place in open pasture and calves are handled daily to encourage a calm and confident disposition. Each animal grazes on mixed grasses and receives supplemental minerals tailored to regional soil conditions.

Young cattle are exposed to various farm routines and human presence from birth. All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary checks and performance evaluations to monitor growth and reproduction. Stevenson’s farm sits on rolling pastures surrounded by woodlands, reflecting a balanced approach to livestock stewardship. This consistent attention has led to cattle that perform well in both grass and feedlot settings.
