Shallow Creek Farm

Shallow Creek Farm are Shorthorn cattle breeders in Lexington, OK, in Cleveland County and the Oklahoma City area. They follow industry-recommended health testing protocols, including routine screenings for genetic and reproductive health, and maintain detailed records to support genetic soundness across their herd.

Their cattle graze on open pasture, receiving daily attention and gradual introduction to handling that nurtures a calm temperament. Tracy Horn and Vicki Van Horn maintain a modest herd size that allows hands-on care from birth through weaning.

Calves are raised alongside their dams in naturally ventilated barns, where early socialization prepares them for future herds. They also share insights on selecting breeding stock, helping owners align goals with bloodlines known for hardiness and maternal traits. Operating from a family-owned property, the farm emphasizes sustainable grazing practices that maintain pasture health. Regular veterinary visits and nutritional planning support steady growth and reproductive performance.
