Welcome to J Bar J Dual Purpose Shorthorns - TH free
We are Jack and Joyce Barnes and our ranch is located in Fallon,
Nevada where we have lived for the last 37 years.
Jack's love for the Shorthorn breed started in Oakdale, California while a
child growing up on his parent's ranch. His father, Sam, gave him his
first Shorthorn heifer when he was 13 years old, but he was involved in
the ranch much earlier, doing the chores and helping his father with the
cattle.
Jack has been in the Shorthorn business since 1944.
We are proud of
the fact that our cattle are double registered in the
ASA
and the AMSS
with their native program.
All of our cattle trace back to the original U.S.
herdbook and there are no crossbred or appendix bloodlines.
We believe there's nothing more beautiful or more special than a pure
double registered Shorthorn animal that will help you bring back the old
fashioned genetics so many herds have strayed away from.
If you're new to the breed, we have put a link below to the Shorthorn
Society. Please take the time to read it. It is quite interesting. If you're
not new to the breed, take a look at the second link. Ron Bolze visited
our ranch and did a story for the Shorthorn Country magazine.
We hope you come back to our site often as we will be posting new
pictures as new calf crops arrive.
Thanks for looking at our cattle. We believe they are quite special!
