Six Mile Creek Sg

Six Mile Creek Sg raises Shorthorn cattle in Shirley, IN, serving Ripley County and the Cincinnati area near Aurora. They maintain membership with the American Shorthorn Association and follow industry-standard health testing for BVD, Johne’s disease, and other common bovine conditions. As a family-run operation under owner Christian Pitcock, the herd has grown steadily over several seasons on pasture-rich acreage.

Pitcock relies on rotational grazing and low-stress handling techniques to promote natural behavior and robust health across the herd. Calves are born in a covered calving area and move to open pasture within days, with regular opportunities for handling and socialization.

The breeding program places equal emphasis on sound feet, udder quality, and steady temperament, traits that support both performance and ease of management. At regional livestock shows and county fairs, several young cattle have earned praise for their balanced structure and friendly disposition.
