Rick Swain & Son Trucking

Rick Swain & Son Trucking raises Hereford cattle in Gibsonburg, OH, in Sandusky County near Toledo. With over two decades of breeding experience, they adhere to breed standards and maintain comprehensive health testing, including annual ultrasounds and genetic screening. Their registration records and vaccination protocols ensure each animal meets current industry standards.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures, allowing cattle to roam in small groups for balanced nutrition and pasture health. Calves receive early socialization through daily handling and exposure to farm routines, fostering calm temperaments suited for family farms or commercial operations. As a family-run operation since the 1980s, their stewardship emphasizes low-stress management and transparent lineage documentation. Local farmers often note the consistency of temperament and structural soundness in their reported experiences. They participate in annual regional cattle shows and regularly share breeding insights through educational extension workshops.
