White Birch Farms

White Birch Farms, Shorthorn cattle, Butler, PA, is a family-run operation in western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. Cindy Schneider and Mike Schneider have cared for Shorthorn cattle for over a decade and maintain membership in national breed associations that require routine health testing.

Their cattle graze on mixed pastureland supplemented with a balanced feed program, and daily handling helps develop calm, friendly temperaments. Barns offer spacious stalls with soft bedding for comfortable rest, and rotational grazing supports pasture health. Originating from a multi-generation homestead, the farm places emphasis on gentle socialization from birth, a quality often noted by local visitors.

Progeny from White Birch Farms consistently display balanced conformation and steady growth, fitting both small family herds and educational agriculture programs. A visitor review mentions the attentive care given to each calf, noting calm handling and healthy development. They open the farm each year for community workshops that explore breeding practices and highlight responsible cattle stewardship.
