Shiraloken Farm

Shiraloken Farm breeds Simmental cattle in Deposit, NY, Delaware County and the Catskills near Binghamton. With more than twenty years of experience, the farm maintains membership in the American Simmental Association and conducts annual fertility and hoof health testing.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures and access barn stalls during severe weather, while calves are gently handled each day to foster calm, social temperaments. The rolling fields were part of a historic dairy operation, and practices like cover cropping and planned grazing help sustain soil fertility.

The owners often participate in county fairs and share breeding insights with neighboring farms, reinforcing community ties. Attention to both structural soundness and gentle disposition makes their cattle a reliable choice across various breeding goals. Foundation herd sires are selected for longevity and maternal traits to promote a balanced herd. Youngstock spend summer months in open range alongside older cattle, encouraging natural herd behavior.
