Scott A Horton

Scott A Horton raises Shorthorn cattle in Saint Charles, IL, in Kane County and the Fox River Valley near Chicago. Drawing on years of farming experience in the region, he adheres to breed association standards and ensures all cattle receive regular health and genetic screenings. From birth, calves are handled gently and socialized in small groups, with access to roomy barns and fresh pasture grazing.

Rotational grazing on mixed grass pastures supports soil health and balanced nutrition throughout the seasons. Scott focuses on structural soundness and a calm temperament, qualities that serve both commercial herds and family-run operations. Well-maintained fencing, clean water sources, and a firm biosecurity routine reflect attention to long-term herd wellness on this established cattle farm. A commitment to sustainable practices guides pasture rotations and fertilizer use to maintain productive land for future herds. Participation in local livestock shows allows Scott to benchmark his cattle against regional peers and stay connected with other breeders.
