Pritchard Cattle Co

Pritchard Cattle Co is a breeder of Chianina cattle in Ashville, OH, serving southern Ohio near Columbus. The farm has been raising Chianina for several years and follows registry guidelines along with routine health testing for genetic soundness. Ian Pritchard maintains a pasture-based herd management system where cattle graze rotationally and receive daily health checks.

Calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments and are accustomed to human interaction on open pasture. The operation traces back to traditional midwestern ranching values with a focus on sustainable land stewardship. Select animals from the herd have been featured at state fairs and agricultural showcases for their balanced structure and quiet disposition. Youngstock receive mineral supplementation and rotational access to shaded paddocks during warm months, supporting steady growth. Each breeding bull and cow undergoes regular soundness evaluations, and offspring are recorded for growth rates to inform future breeding decisions.
