Stan Soehnlen, Chianina cattle, Navarre, OH, Stark County and the Akron area near Canton. Stan Soehnlen has been breeding Chianina cattle for more than a decade following guidelines from the American Chianina Association. All animals undergo routine health testing, vaccination programs and dental checks, and benefit from rotational grazing on well-managed pastures. The cattle are handled regularly with low-stress techniques to support calm, confident temperaments and ease of daily care.

On the farm’s rolling fields, calves grow alongside the family’s other livestock year-round, promoting early socialization. Facilities include a covered feeding area, a custom hay barn and an automatic water system that ensure consistent nutrition and hydration throughout the year. Each animal’s diet follows a veterinarian-informed program and grazing rotation designed for steady growth and resilience. That blend of genetic selection and hands-on care has earned positive feedback from fellow breeders and attendees at regional fairs.
