Hard Luck Farms

Hard Luck Farms is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Malta, OH, Morgan County and the Appalachian foothills near Columbus. Randall and Trista Nelson are active in breed associations and follow recommended health screening protocols for their herd.

They maintain a pasture-based environment where calves are handled daily to promote calm temperaments and strong herd bonds. Their rolling pastureland includes natural shelters and rotational grazing to support cattle welfare throughout the seasons.

Many local producers value the herd’s sound structure, consistent calving seasons and reliable growth traits. They limit herd size for personalized care and maintain detailed health records to track performance and welfare. Calves stay with dams until weaning at about eight months to foster maternal bonding and steady growth. Each animal receives early wellness checks and routine vaccinations in line with veterinary guidelines.
