The Dough Hook Meat Market

The Dough Hook Meat Market raises Hereford cattle in Bluffton, OH, Allen County and northwest Ohio near Toledo. The team brings generations of experience to the breeding program, balancing nutrition, seasonal rotations, and pasture management for long-term herd health. The operation follows American Hereford Association guidelines and maintains regular health screenings and disease prevention protocols to promote robust genetics.

The cattle graze on carefully managed rotational pasture through all seasons, with access to shade and shelter, and receive daily hands-on socialization from experienced staff. All calves are raised in family-led pastures to support early handling and calm dispositions. This farm has a history of multi-generational care, fostering connections between animals and handlers. Regular collaboration with local veterinarians and nutritionists helps tailor feeding plans to each animal’s growth stage.
