Vendetta Cattle Co

Vendetta Cattle Co raises Shorthorn cattle in Rayland, Ohio, serving eastern Ohio near Pittsburgh. The farm participates in national breed association programs with registered stock and routine health screenings for genetic conditions. Feeding protocols balance forage with mineral supplements tailored to beef and breeding stock needs.

Experience across generations informs breeding goals focused on longevity and adaptability in local climates. Calves are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and develop strong social bonds within the herd.

A family-run operation under John Vendetta, the pasture offers rotational grazing to support soil health and animal welfare. The modest herd size allows for individualized attention and close monitoring at each life stage, and detailed records track growth rates, calving ease, and carcass quality. Sires are selected for maternal efficiency and fertility based on this data, earning praise for the consistent build and steady disposition of the herd.
