Windy Ridge Acres

Windy Ridge Acres, Hereford cattle breeders in Mount Perry, OH, is nestled in Perry County in the Appalachian region near Columbus. Founded in 2010, the family-owned farm has grown from a small herd to more than fifty breeding cows, reflecting steady local support. It maintains membership in the American Hereford Association and conducts regular health screenings including genetic testing and parasite monitoring.

Cows and calves graze on rotational pastures under open skies, with access to shelter and gentle handling routines that foster calm temperaments and early socialization. The operation emphasizes land stewardship through cover cropping and careful herd management, ensuring sustainable forage and soil health. The farm’s timber-framed barn blends historical character with modern comfort, and each calf is introduced to feeding paddocks alongside family dogs to build trust. A recent review noted clear communication on lineage and health records, highlighting the gentle nature of spring heifers.
