Fries Farms

Fries Farms is a Chianina cattle ranch in Willard, OH, Huron County and the North Central Ohio near Cleveland. Operated by Ben Fries, the farm follows established breed association guidelines and maintains detailed records to support genetic selection.

Each animal enjoys rotational grazing across well-managed pastures and receives regular veterinary care and nutrition tailored to its growth and health. The herd’s calm disposition reflects careful socialization practices, from early handling in sheltered calving pens to seasonal pasture routines. Calving areas are equipped with heated shelters during winter months, ensuring comfort for new-born calves.

Several young cattle have been noted for their structural soundness at local livestock events. Fries Farms also emphasizes sustainable land stewardship, combining traditional husbandry with modern feeding strategies to promote robust cattle well suited to both breeding and show. Biosecurity measures and regular herd health screenings help safeguard against common cattle diseases.
