Traci Haney

Traci Haney, Shorthorn cattle breeder in Beloit, WI, is based in Rock County near Madison. She has managed Shorthorn herds for more than ten years and maintains registration with the American Shorthorn Association, adhering to breed standards and performance tracking. Annual health testing for bovine viral diarrhea, Johne’s disease and reproductive health screenings supports herd well-being and informed breeding decisions.

Herds graze across rotating warm-season and cool-season pastures, and calves are introduced to low-stress handling and early social interaction to support strong temperaments. Balanced nutrition with locally grown hay and minerals alongside shelter that mirrors natural environments reflects a commitment to well-rounded animal welfare. Bloodlines trace to maternal and terminal sires selected for structural soundness, maternal traits and consistent beef quality, drawing positive feedback from local ranchers and chefs.

Regular veterinary checkups and pasture soil management are part of daily routines aimed at sustaining both herd health and the surrounding ecosystem.
