Shaver Farms

Shaver Farms, Hereford cattle, and Lodi, Ohio, come together in a setting that emphasizes health and temperament in Medina County and the Cuyahoga Valley near Cleveland. The farm draws on years of experience to maintain a small, registered herd and follows industry standards for genetic screening and health testing, including recommended protocols for BVD and Johne’s disease. Each animal grazes on rotational pastures that support natural foraging habits while benefiting from low-stress handling and regular veterinary oversight.

The farm’s calving stalls and sheltered loafing areas offer protection during Ohio’s variable seasons and encourage early socialization between calves and handlers. This family-centered operation balances traditional husbandry with ongoing education in animal welfare, ensuring both meat quality and well-being. Local ranchers often note the herd’s even temperament and consistent growth rates as a reflection of careful breeding choices. Seasonal pasture rotations help maintain soil quality while diversifying forage options throughout the year.
