Cooper Stock Farm

Cooper Stock Farm raises Hereford cattle in Hanoverton, OH, Columbiana County and the Ohio Valley near Youngstown. It is a member of the American Hereford Association and maintains health testing for calving ease, structural soundness, and common cloven-hoof diseases. The herd is pasture-based, with calves raised alongside their dams and introduced to handling early to develop calm temperaments.

Winter shelter includes open-front barns with deep bedding, and calves receive routine vaccinations and nutritional planning in partnership with local veterinarians. The operation grew from a decades-old family tradition and focuses on breeding cattle that thrive on grass and convert forage efficiently. Farm operators bring hands-on experience to monitor nutrition and welfare, using rotational grazing to support soil health.

Buyers appreciate the farm’s record of consistent weights and sturdy frames that perform well across varied climates. Sustainability guides the farm’s approach, with cover cropping and manure management practices that enrich pastures and reduce environmental impact.
