Sparta Farms LLC

Sparta Farms LLC raises Hereford cattle in Berlin Center, OH, in Trumbull County and the Mahoning Valley near Youngstown. The farm has been breeding registered Herefords for over 25 years and holds membership in the American Hereford Association, with routine health checks to ensure sound genetics. They conduct periodic DNA testing to verify parentage and support polled genetics.

Animals live in open pastures with access to sheltered loafing areas and fresh water year-round. Winter feeding includes locally sourced hay and mineral supplements to support herd health. Rotational grazing practices help maintain pasture health, biodiversity, and soil resilience while reducing dependence on external inputs.

Daily handling helps them adjust to farm life and visitors, reflecting the owners’ belief that calm, socialized cattle make healthier herds. Calves typically show steady growth and strong conformation, characteristics valued by both small-scale and commercial producers.
