Shinglebrook Farm

Shinglebrook Farm raises heritage Shorthorn cattle in Shelburne, MA, Franklin County and the Pioneer Valley near Springfield. Owner Beth Manning has over a decade of experience breeding heritage Shorthorn cattle and follows recommended health testing protocols. The farm is a member of the American Shorthorn Association and participates in regional breed improvement initiatives. The cattle graze on rotational pasture and receive gentle handling from an early age to promote calm disposition.

Calves remain with their mothers for the first months to encourage healthy growth and social instincts. The farm maintains a small, closely managed herd to prioritize genetic diversity and sustainable growth patterns. Their cattle are valued for both quality beef and milk production and often attract interest from local dairy and meat producers. Farm stewardship emphasizes soil health, responsible forage management, and the well-being of every animal in the herd.
