Paul Bar J

Paul Bar J raises Murray grey cattle in Dorset, Ohio, Ashtabula County and the Lake Erie shore near Cleveland. It maintains a herd guided by decades of selective breeding, belongs to national Murray grey cattle associations, and keeps complete pedigree records.

Calves graze on rotational pastures, have year-round access to shelter, and receive regular health screenings from local veterinarians. The team emphasizes low-stress handling and early socialization to foster calm temperaments and adaptability across varying environments. Sustainable pasture management and soil health practices support the cattle’s natural grazing behaviors and overall well-being.

Operating on a family-run farm founded by Joseph Paul’s grandparents, it draws on multi-generation experience in grass-fed beef production. Regular participation in regional livestock events underscores its commitment to breed standards and community engagement. Its care-focused approach has earned steady positive remarks from neighbors for the cattle’s even weight gain and resilience in Ohio’s seasonal changes.
