Richard Mutton

Richard Mutton is a Hereford cattle breeder in Scio, Ohio, serving Harrison County and the Appalachian foothills near Canton. His operation spans rolling pastures at the edge of the foothills, where cattle graze in rotational paddocks designed for optimal health. Over two decades of breeding include active membership in the American Hereford Association and routine genetic and health testing.

Calves begin socialization within the herd and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments and easy adjustment to new homes. The farm’s open barn design offers protection from weather while promoting natural behaviors and fresh-air circulation. Emphasis on balanced nutrition and pasture-based feeding helps support steady weight gain without added hormones or unnecessary antibiotics.

A long-standing clientele highlights his straightforward communication and detailed lineage records. Buyers appreciate follow-up advice on management and share feedback on the consistent quality of their animals’ temperament and structure.
