Swallow Farms

Swallow Farms, Chianina cattle breeder, Beallsville, OH, in southeastern Ohio near Pittsburgh, is dedicated to raising a small herd of Chianina cattle on rolling pastureland. The herd is registered with the American Chianina association and each animal undergoes annual health screening including genetic and structural evaluations. Swallow Farms emphasizes pasture-based grazing, seasonal rotational practices and access to shelter in climate-regulated barns.

Calves are handled daily to foster calm dispositions and build early socialization for working environments. Owner Wm. Mark Swallow applies generational knowledge of cattle care while adapting to modern welfare standards. The farm maintains soil health through planned grazing schedules that benefit pastures and local ecosystems.

Feedback from neighboring farms often notes the cattle’s strong bone structure and even temperaments. The farm hosts occasional educational visits for area 4-H groups, sharing practical insights into selective breeding and herd management.
