He procured his first Highland cow, Scottie, from South Dakota in 1967 and during the past four decades enjoyed watching his cattle on the farm, observing them through binoculars by the hour, particularly his prized bull, Lance of Gordon's Fold. He was a lifetime member of the American Highland Cattle Association, and in 2002 he and his wife, Polly, were inducted into the American Highland Cattle Association's Hall of Fame, in recognition of the outstanding contributions they had made to the Highland breed, having sold their champion cattle all over the United States and in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. He was an avid trapper and fisherman and was well known and sought after for rounding up and catching farmers' errant cattle, first on his own and then with the help of his loyal and well-trained pit bulls. During his cattle catching days, spanning nearly 30 years from the 1940s through the 1960s, he caught 468 head of wild cattle in the state of Vermont, an accomplishment of which he was extremely proud. He was an avid gardener and had fine blueberry bushes that yielded copious blueberries year after year. He is survived by his sister Almy Perron of Glover; by his sons and daughters-in-law: Earl and Wilma Shatney of East Hardwick, Leo Shatney of Greensboro Bend, Arthur and Laurie Shatney of Middlesex, Ray and and his partner, Janet Steward, of Greensboro Bend and Plainfield, and Steve and Christine Shatney of Greensboro Bend; by 12 grandchildren: Kelly Foster and her husband, Matt, Stacey Stevenson and her husband, David, Sandy Thompson and her husband, Mike, Terrie Rich and her husband, Keven, Amber Davis and her husband, Scott, and Danny, Matt, Trevor, Mitch, Jeff, Heather, and Brent Shatney; and by 11 great-grandchildren: Trey, Lillie, Nathan, Tyler, Riley, Ashley, Taylor, Philip, Hunter, Cole, and baby Scotty, just seven weeks old. He was predeceased by his wife, Polly; by his sisters Ethel and Evelyn; and by his brothers Leslie and Elwin. At Mr. Shatney's request, there will be no services, and his ashes will be returned to his Route 16 farm, where they will be scattered among his beloved Highland cattle. Contributions in Mr. Shatney's memory may be made to the American Highland Cattle Foundation, 4701 Marion Street, Suite 200, Denver, Colorado 80216.

The account of her death is best told by her sister Shaelyn: "Loss of Mckenzie Ann Webster-Brown! This will be a sad story for all but also happy! She died of an asthma attack last night. We were at Aunt Eryn's house at 7:15 at night. With all the ways we were trying so hard to get her back alive. We rushed her to the hospital, and mom was waiting for a long time when they walked in to see them rushing in trying to get her back to life. They could not do much at all. They rushed her to the children's hospital in Denver. By that time she was brain dead, and we had to let her go; we could not let her live like that. She is obviously gone now, and we can get all the support. We miss Mckenzie, and we will make her funeral happy and full of excitement. It will be the best day of her memory! We all had a great time with Zee. We all miss you, and we will send whatever we can! This event caused permanent brain damage. She will never be here again, but we know she is in good hands! The celebration is going to be sad then happy. If you want to say something, then bring it to me or my mom!" A celebration of her life was held November 29 at Kathryn Senor Elementary School in New Castle, Colorado.
