Short Brothers

Short Brothers provides livestock transport services out of Winthrop, Iowa, serving farms and producers throughout the northeast Iowa region near Waterloo. The company moves horses, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs, handling the kind of hauling that comes with everyday farm operations rather than one-off jobs.

Short Brothers holds an active USDOT registration as a registered motor carrier.

For breeders, small herd owners, and larger operations alike, this kind of transport service fills a practical need: getting animals to sale barns, new pastures, processing facilities, or breeding partners without the hassle of arranging a trailer and driver on your own. Whether it's a single horse headed to a new stable or a mixed load of sheep and goats bound for auction, Short Brothers works within the rhythms of rural Iowa agriculture, where flexibility and dependable scheduling matter as much as the miles covered.
