The Shire on the Haw Farm

The Shire on the Haw Farm Pineywoods cattle are raised in New Hill, NC, in the Research Triangle near Raleigh. They follow breed association guidelines and maintain comprehensive health testing, including annual veterinary exams and pasture soil assessments. Their herd grazes on rotational pastures bordering the Haw River, where animals enjoy shelter in wooded paddocks and regular handling that nurtures a calm temperament.

Owners Robin Anders and Jonathan Anders draw on family farming traditions to emphasize sustainable grazing and wildlife habitat enhancement across their rolling landscape. Visitors note the farm’s gentle approach and well-maintained pastures, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare and environmental stewardship. The herd traces back to foundation stock from recognized Pineywoods breeders in Florida, preserving genetic diversity and characteristic hardiness. Calves stay with their dams in spacious paddocks and receive supplemental minerals through a rotational feeding plan that adjusts to seasonal pasture growth.
