 
Welcome to Red Rose Farm
2011 Hill Haven Selections Private Treaty Sale Consignors We are pleased to share with you a little of what we truly enjoy. We hope you like your visit to our site and we welcome your thoughts, comments
and questions. Red Rose Farm was purchased
in 1985 and we bought our first Shorthorns in 1989. The farm is 133
acres, with 50 acres being woodlot. The soil is a coarse-textured sandy
composition which is free-draining but susceptible to dry weather
conditions. After several
attempts to grow the usual crops for this area we decided to seed the
farm to hay and pasture and to concentrate on our main interest... the
cows. One initial purchase was from Kingsburgh
Kyle and some of the descendants are still here today. In establishing
our own herd we have tried to purchase females from well-established and
successful cow families. Our herd currently consists of 25 to 30
breeding females. The farm is owned and operated
by Martin and Liz Mason and Sons. One of our two sons, John, has established his own herd of shorthorns under the prefix J.W.M.
