Whiting Family Farm

Whiting Family Farm, raising shorthorn cattle in New Wilmington, PA, is located in Lawrence County and western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. J Samuel Whiting has guided the farm’s herd for more than twenty years, holding membership in the American Shorthorn Association and adhering to routine health screening and documentation.

Animals graze on rotational pastures that support soil health and are supplemented with a hay and grain mix sourced from local suppliers. Calves benefit from daily handling under a low-stress approach that fosters early familiarization with people and helps with later transitions. The farm’s barn features wide stalls, natural ventilation, and a wash stall for regular hoof and coat care.

Over the seasons several animals have earned herd-champion ribbons at county fairs and regional shows, a sign of steady breeding selection. As a family operation with roots in local agriculture, the farm balances tradition with gentle stewardship of livestock.
