Crihfield Shorthorn Cattle

Crihfield Shorthorn Cattle raises Shorthorn cattle in Ripley, WV, within Jackson County and the Ohio River Valley near Parkersburg. Tim and Gabriele Crihfield have been part of the American Shorthorn Association for more than a decade and follow recommended health testing and traceability programs.

Calves spend early weeks grazing on rotating pastures and socializing through gentle daily handling to support balanced temperaments. Animals are raised on their family farm where sturdy fencing and weather-protected shelters meet industry standards for comfort. Local buyers often note the calm disposition and consistent frame improvements seen across generations.

Their boutique herd emphasizes maternal traits and beef quality, with calves weaned through a low-stress protocol that reduces health setbacks. With multi-generational roots in West Virginia agriculture, the farm’s approachable team remains available to share best practices and breeding insights. Each animal carries a registered pedigree with documented EPDs, and records are updated regularly for transparency.
