Andrea Lepley and Kevin Lepley are Murray Grey cattle breeders in Newark, Ohio, in Licking County near Columbus. They have been raising Murray Grey cattle for over twenty years and participate in breed association programs to maintain herd records. All of their herds undergo routine health testing and vaccinations under the guidance of a local veterinarian. Their cows and calves graze on rotational pastures with year-round access to fresh water and shelter, and calves are gently weaned to encourage a smooth transition.

On their family-run farm, emphasis is placed on socialized handling and low-stress practices to foster calm temperaments. Several of their animals have earned regional awards for conformation and maternal traits, and recent feedback highlights consistent weight gains and sound structure. Their approach blends traditional breeding goals with a focus on animal welfare and sustainable land stewardship. Their herd is known for gentle temperaments and consistent beef quality.
