JLH Company

JLH Company, heritage shorthorn cattle, Richmond, Ohio, is based in southwestern Ohio near Dayton. With over a decade of experience, the farm holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association and follows a rigorous health-testing program to monitor genetic lines and disease markers. Calves are raised in open pastures throughout growth, receiving daily handling and early socialization to ensure even temperaments for both show rings and family farms.

JLH Company’s line includes several Grand Champion winners at regional fairs, reflecting a focus on structure, temperament and adaptability. Owner Joe Cavanaugh’s attention to rotational grazing and soil health supports sustainable practices that benefit animal welfare and land stewardship. Diets are tailored seasonally with locally sourced hay and mineral supplements, and cattle living quarters are cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene and reduce stress. Families and smaller operations often note the calm nature and ease of handling as a key benefit when introducing these cattle to mixed herds.
