Annette Marshall

Annette Marshall breeds Chianina cattle in Dover, OH in Tuscarawas County near Canton. She participates in registry programs through the American Chianina association and follows recognized protocols for structural soundness and genetic health testing before each breeding season. All adult cattle receive trace mineral programs developed for the breed and undergo annual veterinary examinations. Calves are born on open pastures with rotational grazing and sheltered loafing areas, and they receive daily, gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments.

Her breeding philosophy centers on maternal traits and balanced confirmation, with bloodlines chosen for practical performance and show ring presence. Cattle are managed on family-run pastures with winter hay supplementation and fresh water access, and calves are introduced to halter training in the first weeks of life. Local cattlemen note their ease of handling and consistent type among her stock, reflecting her steady focus on welfare and breed standards.
