Stonehedge Farms

Stonehedge Farms, heritage Shorthorns, Prescott, ON, is a family-operated breeder serving Eastern Ontario near Ottawa. With more than a decade of experience, it holds registered herd status through the Canadian Cattle Association and the Ontario Shorthorn Club. All breeding stock undergoes regular health screenings for Johne’s disease and clostridial conditions.

Each calf is born on pasture and weaned with close supervision in a straw-bedded barn to ensure steady growth. Stonehedge Farms rotates pastures seasonally and consults a local veterinarian to balance mineral- and vitamin-rich feeds for optimal herd health. Cattle spend summers grazing river-bottom fields and winters in insulated barns with constant access to forage.

Owner John Ashby traces the farm’s roots to his grandparents’ homestead in the region, maintaining a focus on temperament and maternal ability. Consistently positive reviews from area ranchers reflect the farm’s commitment to sustainable ranching practices.
