Mark Riggle

Mark Riggle is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Fairview, WV, serving Marion County and the north-central region near Morgantown. He has been raising registered Shorthorn cattle for over two decades and maintains membership with the American Shorthorn Association while adhering to recommended genetic and health screening protocols.

His herd grazes on rotational pastures supplemented by clean water sources year-round, and calves are socialized with daily handling to promote calmer temperaments. The farm’s barn features temperature-controlled stalls and a comfortable bedding regimen that supports both mature cows and young stock.

With several state fair champion titles and a focus on balanced conformation, his breeding program reflects a respect for heritage bloodlines. Reviews often note his straightforward communication and transparent sharing of pedigrees and health records. The operation balances modern husbandry with time-honored practices that were first established by the Riggle family over three generations. Many buyers appreciate the chance to observe animals on pasture and discuss lineage details firsthand.
