S&J Cattle Co

S&J Cattle Co, Shorthorn cattle, Albany, OH, in southeastern Ohio near Columbus, are experienced breeders. They have been raising Shorthorn cattle for more than a decade and hold membership in the American Shorthorn Association, with routine health screenings and genetic evaluations to ensure strong herds. Their cattle graze on rotationally managed pastures and receive daily hands-on care, which promotes calm temperaments and uniform growth. The operation emphasizes sustainable practices, using composted manure to enrich soil and minimize external inputs.

Their emphasis on balanced nutrition and low-stress handling contributes to cattle that are well-suited for both beef production and conservation grazing. Newborn calves are given prompt colostrum and monitored closely during their first weeks to support healthy development. Clean water is drawn from an on-site well and tested regularly, underlining their commitment to animal welfare and product quality. As a family-run farm overseen by Pfeiffer Scott and Jo Ann, they prioritize long-term herd vitality and community-based stewardship.
