Adina Farms

Adina Farms, Murray grey cattle, Hammondsville, Ohio, Jefferson County and the upper Ohio valley near Youngstown. Adina Farms follows national breed association guidelines, participates in regular herd evaluations, and maintains complete veterinary records, with annual screenings for each animal.

Calves are born in small family groups, remain with their dams until weaning at six months, and spend early life on rotational pastures for natural grazing behaviors. During winter months, cattle move into a ventilated barn with deep-bedded stalls, and they receive handling by Adam Costarella and Tina Costarella to foster trust. Feeding focuses on locally sourced hay, balanced mineral mixes, and seasonal adjustments to support healthy growth.

Breeding selections emphasize ease of calving and longevity, attributes well suited to both small-scale and larger commercial settings. Consistency in temperament and moderate frame size have become hallmarks of this program over successive calving seasons.
