Crooked Creek Cattle Company

Crooked Creek Cattle Company raises locally managed wagyu cattle in Coshocton, OH, serving Coshocton County and central Ohio near Columbus.

Owner Robert Stout began the herd with foundation wagyu stock sourced from western ranches and maintains detailed records on growth and lineage. The operation follows American Wagyu Association guidelines and conducts routine health screenings, including annual herd evaluations. Animals graze on mixed grasses across well-managed pastures before receiving a balanced finishing ration, and they undergo regular handling to support calm, confident dispositions.

Infrastructure includes covered loafing sheds and rotational paddocks to ensure comfort in all seasons, with fenced water access and shade. A balanced finishing ration supports marbling development while maintaining overall herd health and consistent weight gains. Breeding lines are selected for marbling quality and maternal performance, reflecting a balanced focus on carcass traits, temperament, and sustainable herd development. Seasonal forage planning promotes pasture resilience and supports environmental stewardship.
