Marcus Mann

Marcus Mann raises Chianina cattle in Scio, OR, in Linn County and the Willamette Valley near Salem. He has been breeding since 2010 and maintains membership in national and regional cattle associations, performing routine health testing and genetic screening on his herd.

Animals graze on rotational pastures and have access to shelter built from local timber, reflecting a care regimen that balances forage variety with safety. Calves are socialized from an early age through daily handling and occasional visits by local 4-H and FFA youth groups.

Several of his cattle have won breedshow ribbons at the regional fair, where judges have noted their calm disposition and consistent conformation. The farm’s history stretches back to his grandparents’ homestead, and that sense of continuity shapes how animals and land are treated today. Visitors often comment on the herd’s health and the welcoming atmosphere that reflects years of attentive management.
