Shady Maple Farm

Shady Maple Farm breeds Shorthorn cattle in Panama, NY, in Chautauqua County and the Southern Tier near Jamestown. The farm has been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years and participates in breed registry programs, ensuring each animal receives regular health evaluations and nutritional assessments. All breeding stock undergoes routine veterinary exams and genetic screenings to support herd health. Owner Joseph A Osborne focuses on low-stress handling and rotational grazing to ensure robust calves and a serene pasture environment.

Newborns remain close to their dams in a sheltered barn with straw bedding and regular social interaction. Their herd often receives commendations at county fairs and reflects a commitment to sustainable care and balanced nutrition. Preventive care and quarantine protocols minimize the need for antibiotics and support long-term herd resilience. Visitors note the attentive staff and the farm’s dedication to animal welfare in every stage of development.
