Slone & Son

Slone & Son, Hereford cattle, Oak Hill, OH, in the Appalachian region near Columbus, is committed to breeding hearty cattle with balanced musculature and calm temperaments. Founded in 2008 and a member of the American Hereford Association, it follows strict genetic and health-testing protocols, including annual hoof trimming, vaccination schedules, and evaluations for common disorders.

The operation is known for supplying livestock to local agribusinesses and 4-H youth projects, where animals consistently display uniformity in size and gentle behavior. Buyers often note clear communication about breeding lines and on-farm practices, reflecting the breeder’s focus on transparency and long-term herd sustainability.
