Mark E Leonard

Mark E Leonard raises Hereford cattle in Oak Hill, OH, in Jackson County and the Appalachian region near Columbus. He applies responsible breeding practices, maintains herd health according to recommended testing, and engages with local cattle associations.

On his rolling pastures, each animal has room to graze and express natural behaviors while receiving regular health checks and balanced nutrition. Calves are handled by family members from their first days, fostering gentle temperament and ease of management. Prospective buyers often note the consistency in weight gain and sturdy frames among his yearlings.

Composted manure enriches the pastures, and rotational grazing supports sustainable land management. This holistic approach aims to balance productivity with long-term stewardship of the farm. The farm’s long history in southeastern Ohio brings a wealth of knowledge about forage cycles and seasonal care, reflecting a dedication to the land as well as the herd.
