Thistledew Farm

Thistledew Farm, Shorthorn cattle, Dickens, TX, is located in Dickens County and the Texas Panhandle near Lubbock. For more than 12 years it has focused on registered Shorthorn cattle, maintaining membership in the American Shorthorn Association and following regular genetic screening and veterinary health testing.

Herds graze on native grass pastures with rotational grazing plans and seasonal winter housing in a well-ventilated barn. Owner Danny Davis emphasizes calm handling, early calf socialization and balanced nutrition protocols designed for maternal strength and ease of calving. Each cow is monitored individually with detailed record keeping for calving history and growth performance.

Thistledew Farm also participates in local 4H and extension programs to share breeding insights with area ranchers. A recent visitor review notes that the farm’s steady temperament and sound structure reflect a deep respect for animal welfare and land stewardship. This careful selection approach supports both commercial producers and small-scale operations.
