Tmf Shorthorns

Tmf Shorthorns is a Shorthorn breeder in Clinton, IL, serving central Illinois near Springfield. Doug North has bred Shorthorn cattle for over a decade and holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association, ensuring each animal receives routine health screenings and performance evaluations.

Their herd grazes rotational pastures on a family farm, where calves grow up with regular handling to foster a calm disposition. Feeding plans include a mix of native grasses and tailored supplements to support steady frame development, and sheltered loafing areas are available during harsh weather. Low-stress handling facilities and routine interaction help maintain composure during evaluation and transport. Stock is selected for maternal strength, feed efficiency and carcase quality, reflecting a long-standing commitment to balanced traits. Several of their bulls have placed at county fairs for sound conformation, and local ranchers appreciate the consistent growth rates and gentle temperament of these cattle.
