Sierra D Betts

Sierra D Betts, Shorthorn cattle, Bethesda, Ohio, Belmont County and the Ohio River Valley near Wheeling. Sierra D Betts has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for several years and maintains membership in the American Shorthorn Association, following genetic screening and herd health protocols. Animals graze on managed pasture during warmer months and move to spacious barns through winter, ensuring comfort in all seasons. Each animal receives regular veterinary care, including vaccinations and reproductive evaluations.

The operation emphasizes daily handling to foster calm temperaments and strong human-animal bonds. Rotational grazing and a nutrient-rich feed program support balanced growth, lactation, and soil health. Calves remain with their dams in open fields, encouraging natural behaviors and maternal strength. This hands-on approach to sustainable land stewardship and cattle welfare draws positive feedback from local farmers and youth exhibitors, who note the transparent records and open-barn design as evidence of careful management.
