Hilltop Farm

Hilltop Farm is a breeder of Chianina cattle in Urbana, OH, Champaign County near Columbus. Since its founding, the farm has been involved in national breed registry programs and follows recommended health testing protocols, including fertility screenings and structural evaluations for breeding stock.

Cattle graze rotationally across mixed pastures with access to weather shelter, free choice mineral supplements and routine veterinary checkups to support growth and resilience. Owner David Jenkins balances conservation ranching with attentive management during calving season and encourages early socialization to foster gentle temperaments.

The herd thrives on a combination of pasture diversity and seasonal hay during winter months, reflecting the farm’s focus on sustainable land stewardship. Visitor feedback highlights the cattle’s calm demeanor and the farm’s transparent sharing of husbandry practices at each stage. Detailed records accompany every animal from birth through maturity, and breeding decisions are made with herd genetic diversity and performance traits in mind.
