Stryker Livestock

Stryker Livestock raises Scottish Highland cattle in Fredericktown, OH, Knox County and the mid-Ohio region near Columbus. With several years of experience, Joshua Stryker is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and follows established health-testing protocols, including annual genetic screenings and regular veterinary inspections. The herd grazes on rotational pastures seeded with native grasses and clover, with insulated shelters provided during extreme weather, and calves receive daily socialization to promote calm, friendly temperaments before joining the herd.

Their breeding program balances robust genetics with gentle dispositions, producing cattle well suited for both homestead and commercial agricultural settings, from meat production to conservation grazing. Stryker Livestock maintains detailed lineage and performance records, sharing health histories and development milestones with prospective buyers for full transparency.

Founded on the belief that Scottish Highland cattle offer both aesthetic appeal and practical resilience, the operation has grown from a small start to a respected local source. Tours of the farm are available by appointment, offering a chance to observe herd management, discuss breeding goals and experience the daily rhythms of pasture life.
