Jordan Stephens

Jordan Stephens, Chianina cattle, Ewing, KY, is a breeder with over a decade of experience on a family farm in Fleming County and the Bluegrass Region near Lexington. Stephens follows industry guidelines, maintaining association memberships, routine veterinary evaluations, nutritional assessments, and performance recording for every animal. Stephens offers guidance on herd management and genetic planning to fellow small-scale breeders.

The cattle graze on diverse mixed pastures throughout the growing season and receive daily handling to develop calm temperaments and early familiarity with people. Housing includes sturdy shelters and access to shade, ensuring comfort year-round. Calves remain with their dams until natural weaning and are introduced to feedlots only after reaching healthy weight targets.

The farm’s origins date back to a small dairy herd, and today its Chianina line includes several regional show placings. Visitors appreciate the herd’s even dispositions and steady gains on grass-based rations.
