Austin Douglass

Austin Douglass, a Chianina cattle breeder in Alvordton, Ohio, serves northwest Ohio near Toledo. He has raised Chianina cattle for over 15 years on his family-run farmstead and holds membership in the American Chianina Association and state beef cattle groups. Breeding stock undergoes annual veterinary health screenings, performance testing on growth rates and structural soundness, and genetic evaluations to support sound beef production.

Calves are raised on rotational grass pastures with access to open-air barns, ensuring steady weight gain and natural forage inputs. Each animal experiences routine handling from weaning onward to build a calm temperament, which reviewers have praised for easier herd management. Austin’s focus on consistent genetics and practical traits reflects a commitment to long-term stewardship of cattle suited for both large ranches and small family operations. His family has cultivated the land for three generations, integrating sustainable practices that support soil health and cattle welfare.
