Simps' Shorthorns

Simps’ Shorthorns, Shorthorn cattle in Iva, SC, in Anderson County near Greenville, run by Kevin and Jeff Simpson, are a family-owned ranch specializing in heritage bloodlines. With more than twenty-five years of combined breeding experience, they uphold registrations through the American Shorthorn Association and conduct annual genetic screening, fertility assessment, and clostridial vaccination protocols. Cattle live on lush rotational pastures, and calves spend their early weeks under close supervision in spacious shelters to encourage resilience and cooperative temperament.

The Simpson family integrates traditional stockmanship with contemporary animal welfare standards, maintaining open-air barns and winter feeding programs that reduce stress during colder months. Their herd regularly features at regional agricultural fairs, where visitors note the animals’ calm disposition and sturdy conformation. Consistent veterinary checkups, parasite management, and soil-conscious grazing strategies support herd vitality. Farmers and small operations in the surrounding Upstate trust Simps’ Shorthorns for their transparent breeding practices and reliable performance.
