Badlands Cattle Co

Badlands Cattle Co raises Chianina cattle in Alexandria, Ohio, in Licking County near Columbus. Founded by Drew Dague, the ranch has been working with Chianina bloodlines for several years and follows national breed registry guidelines and regular health evaluations. They adhere to recommended health screenings, including regular veterinary checkups, and maintain mineral supplementation throughout the year. The herd grazes on rotational pastures with access to open shelters, fresh water troughs and shade trees, and daily handling helps develop a calm temperament.

Routine veterinary visits and vaccination protocols support herd health throughout the seasons and emergency care readiness. The cattle are bred for balanced structure and lean muscle, traits suited to both breed enthusiasts and small producers. Buyers often praise the herd’s even temperament and the transparency of health records. This committed approach reflects Drew Dague’s background in sustainable ranch management.
