Sharben Shorthorns

Sharben Shorthorns, Shorthorn cattle, Sharpsburg, KY, in the Bluegrass region near Lexington, has been breeding Shorthorns for over 25 years, focusing on both quality beef and show prospects. The Wilsons hold registrations with the American Shorthorn Association, participate in annual regional fairs, and follow recommended health-testing protocols for fertility and genetic conditions. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures, and calves receive gentle handling from birth to encourage calm temperaments.

The Wilson family traces their farmstead roots back generations, blending tradition with modern cattle management. They maintain small herd sizes to ensure attentive care and often receive praise for the consistency of their offspring’s conformation and disposition.

Regular hoof trimming and nutritional consultations with local veterinarians are part of their preventive approach. Prospective buyers appreciate the transparency in herd records and the consistent quality seen in each generation.
