Verburg Family Cattle

Verburg Family Cattle, Shorthorn cattle in Willard, OH, is located in north central Ohio near Toledo on rolling pastureland that the Verburgs have managed for generations. Garret Verburg has been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for more than 15 years, holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association, and focuses on bloodlines known for maternal strength and efficient feed conversion.

Their herd grazes on rotated pastures enriched with mineral supplementation, and daily handling helps nurture calm, trainable temperaments that suit both family farms and small-scale operations. Routine health screenings cover genetic testing, fertility assessments, and annual veterinary checks to ensure each animal meets breed standards for conformation and health, and visitors often note the farm’s clean barns and transparent records. Spring calving aligns with fresh grass growth to support early development, while many brood cows originate from proven pedigrees that emphasize longevity and productivity on pasture-based rations. Garret also participates in regional breeding trials and county fairs to refine traits like docility and carcass quality, reflecting a commitment to continuous improvement and community engagement.
