Welcome to Shuffle Grit Cattle Company

Shuffle Grit Cattle Company is a family-owned commercial and registered cattle operation that has been in existence for over a hundred years in Comer, Georgia. It is owned and operated by the fifth and sixth generation of the Patton family. Once a cotton-growing operation where owner Jim Patton’s great-grandfather would “shuffle grit” when hoeing his cotton fields, the northeast Georgia ranch now specializes in raising commercial cattle and exceptional registered polled Herefords. Shuffle Grit Cattle Company proudly raises, breeds, and shows our registered Herefords for our farm. Bred on a foundation of both functionality and beauty, Shuffle Grit Cattle Company ensure that our cattle are both show quality and commercially efficient. With meticulous attention to both form and function, Shuffle Grit Cattle Company breeds and showcases our Herefords with a rare blend of showmanship and commercial pragmatism. In addition to our registered Herefords, Shuffle Grit Cattle Co. also sells “never/never” beef sides, from Shuffle Grit steers that the Pattons feed out that have never been treated with antibiotics and never been given growth hormone injections.
