Caleb McKee

Caleb McKee raises Chianina cattle in Gambier, OH, Knox County and central Ohio near Columbus. He has spent several years selecting breeding pairs for structural soundness and gentle temperament, with routine hoof care, vaccinations and parasite management under a local veterinarian’s guidance.

His herd grazes on rotational pasture, encouraging natural growth and forage diversity, and all breeding stock undergoes genetic health screening. Calves are introduced early to daily farm activities and socialized around livestock guardian dogs to promote calm behavior.

Some of his animals have placed well at regional county fairs, drawing praise for their even temperaments and balanced build. Detailed records track lineage, birth weights and growth rates, supporting predictable development and selection for breeding. With a focus on thoughtful husbandry and transparent record-keeping, Caleb’s operation reflects a steady approach to raising Chianina cattle suited to both show and beef programs.
