Drew Smith

Drew Smith raises Chianina cattle in New Lebanon, OH, Montgomery County and the Dayton area. Smith has raised Chianina cattle for several years, participating in registry programs and arranging routine health testing to support herd welfare. Animals are pastured on ten acres of mixed grasses with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of management.

The farm’s facilities include a spacious barn with individual calf pens and shaded resting areas that allow natural social behaviors. Smith emphasizes responsible husbandry and gentle introduction to handling equipment at a young age, practices that visitors often mention for their positive effect on animal well-being. A commitment to steady growth rates and balanced nutrition guides each feeding regimen, ensuring consistency across the herd. He works with the national breed association to maintain accurate lineage records and uphold breed standards. A family-run operation since its founding, the farm reflects a focus on long-term herd health and community engagement.
