Shady Grove Farm

Shady Grove Farm is a Hereford cattle breeder in Cartersville, GA, in Bartow County near Atlanta. Its operation has been breeding Hereford cattle for over two decades, with members of the American Hereford Association and regular participation in state fairs. Each bull and heifer undergoes routine health screening and genetic evaluation to support a sound breeding program.

Animals graze on open pasture with access to sheltered loafing sheds and receive daily checkups from on-site staff. Young calves are socialized near the farmstead barn, encouraging calm temperaments well-suited to both small-scale farms and larger operations. The farm’s approach to rotational grazing preserves grassland health and shows in the robust frame and glossy coats of its cattle.

Former students of local agricultural programs have found hands-on experience here that complements their classroom studies. Several Hereford bulls from Shady Grove Farm have placed in regional quality competitions, reflecting a steady commitment to functional conformation.
