Welcome to the Matlock Stock Farms website. We are pleased that you stopped by, and hope that you enjoy learning a little about our Shorthorns.
Be sure to check back in with us throughout the year, as we will be updating our site from time to time. Our news page will tell you a little about what we've been up to in the show ring, upcoming shows and sales that we will be attending, as well as listing other cattle for sale. Or, just other items of interest. Thanks again for stopping by, and happy touring!
...My Dad purchased his first purebred Shorthorns in 1943. Some years later, in 1970, I moved back home to farm, and with Creta and our family we have tried our best to raise quality Shorthorns. Over the years we tried a few of the different exotic breeds, but the Shorthorns have always won out.
Our purebred cows are raised under the same practical conditions as our commercial cows. We select for cows which are structurally sound, good uddered and which are functional and productive.
We have used a number of quality bulls including Highfield Irish Mist, IDS Duke of Dublin, HS Instant Enticer, and Mandalong Super Flag, just to name a few. We feel that our current herdsires will continue to improve our herd and contribute to the growth of the breed.
Our cattle have been well accepted, selling to seven provinces, and into the United States. We can offer you quality embryos, semen or breeding stock. Please feel free to visit the farm, or call or email for a visit at any time.
