Winding Brooke Mini Ranch

Winding Brooke Mini Ranch breeds cattle in Ohio, OH, in the Midwest near Columbus. Operating as a family-run operation with generations of ranching roots, the ranch applies careful record keeping to support genetic selection and herd health.

The small herds undergo regular examinations by local veterinarians, follow comprehensive vaccination schedules, and are monitored for common genetic conditions. Animals graze on rotational pastures with year-round access to shelter and fresh water, and each calf is handled daily to encourage calm temperaments. Housing offers a blend of open-air barns and protected loafing areas to adapt to seasonal weather.

The herd emphasizes balanced genetics for durability and gentle dispositions, supporting small-scale operations and homestead farms. Farm visits by appointment allow observation of herd health and handling practices. Low-stress handling techniques and holistic pasture management aim to reduce external inputs while maintaining animal welfare.
