White Dog Farm

White Dog Farm, Scottish Highland cattle, Zanesville, OH, is located in Muskingum County and the Appalachian Plateau near Columbus. Jody Riley has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade and maintains registration with the national breed registry, following recommended health and genetic screening protocols.

The herd grazes on mixed grass pastures and receives year-round attention to diet and shelter, with calves socialized early through daily handling. Fencing and rotational grazing preserve pasture health and encourage natural foraging behaviors. The family-run approach ensures each animal’s well-being guides farm decisions. Riley emphasizes hardy bloodlines celebrated for gentle temperament and resilience through Ohio’s changing seasons.

The farm blends traditional husbandry methods with sustainable pasture management to support long-term herd health. Each year calves are raised with a focus on easy handling and minimal stress, resulting in animals well-suited for small-scale farms and homesteading.
