About Us

Hill Haven Shorthorns is a purebred Shorthorn cow/calf breeding and show operation founded in 1999 by Dale Asser and Bob Meldrum. After Bob’s passing in 2021, Dale and Matthew Hargrave, Hill Haven’s dedicated herdsman since 2006, work closely together to continue to achieve and surpass their goals.

Hill Haven Farm is located in Duntroon, Ontario, Canada near the shores of beautiful Georgian Bay. Since the beginning, the goal has remained the breeding of purebred shorthorns to produce the ultimate, complete shorthorn bull and female; a blend of function, performance, temperament and show ring appeal.

The Hill Haven motto is three-fold: to find and breed the genetics which improve the shorthorn breed, ensure animal care is the highest priority and customer satisfaction only begins with the sale. At the farm, a herd of 50 plus females is managed as well as replacement yearlings and an extensive donor/embryo program. Hill Haven holds annual Fall Selection Sales of females and genetics at the farm or on-line and Hill Haven can always be seen at major shows such as the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Canadian Western Agribition in Regina and NAILE in Louisville, KY as well as numerous junior shows
