Tommy Plumbtree

Tommy Plumbtree raises Shorthorn cattle in Lawton, OK, on the southern plains near Oklahoma City. For more than a decade this family enterprise has maintained herd registrations through the American Shorthorn Association and conducts routine health screenings for fertility, Johne’s disease, and structural soundness. Animals graze rotationally on mixed-grass pastures and receive daily hands-on care from birth, fostering early socialization and a balanced diet of grasses and legumes.

This operation follows time-tested practices in sustainable grazing and pasture management, including soil health monitoring and strategic forage rotation. The herd’s calm temperament and strong conformation reflect careful selection and consistent attention to animal welfare. One area rancher noted even growth rates and the characteristic muscular build of these cattle under this approach. The farm has remained in the same family for generations, blending traditional knowledge with evolving husbandry methods to maintain herd health and resilience. Community members appreciate the breeder’s transparent record-keeping and long-term investment in herd quality.
