Ryan Kemp

Ryan Kemp, Shorthorn cattle, Jerusalem, Ohio, in Licking County and central Ohio near Columbus. Rainy Day Shorthorns has been breeding Shorthorns for over 15 years with membership in the American Shorthorn Association, and all herd sires and dams undergo annual genetic and health testing. Calves enjoy daily turnout on mixed-grass pastures and early handling to encourage gentle behaviour. The farm uses rotational grazing systems and nutrient management plans to support soil fertility.

Barn and shelter designs meet current welfare standards, and local farmers often remark on the herd’s calm temperament and uniform growth. Several cows trace back to national show champions, reinforcing structural soundness and consistent performance. A recent review highlighted balanced muscle development and feed efficiency, traits that suit both hobbyists and larger producers. Ryan Kemp maintains a closed herd policy and follows strict biosecurity protocols to protect herd health and prevent disease transmission.
