Jason Althaus

Jason Althaus, Hereford cattle, Columbus Grove, OH, serves northwest Ohio near Toledo. He has more than 15 years of hands-on ranching and holds membership in the American Hereford Association with regular health testing for hip dysplasia, genetic markers and parasite control.

His cattle rotate through five lush pastures on a family-owned farm where they graze and socialize from birth, and calves enjoy daily handling to build trust and easygoing temperaments. The barn used for occasional showing and therapy visits features bedding refreshed twice weekly and sunlit pens that encourage natural behaviors.

Several of his Herefords have earned regional champion ribbons at county fairs, and one group was praised by a local judge for balanced conformation and gentle disposition. Visitors often note the relaxed pace of the farm and enjoy meeting livestock that grow up amid attentive care on open fields and shaded loafing areas.
