Cooney Creek Farm

Cooney Creek Farm is a 250 acre family farm nestled in the hills of Lawrence County, Ohio. We are located in Wheelersburg, Ohio, 100 miles south of Columbus; 30 miles from Huntington, WV; 20 miles from Ashland, KY. The name comes from the largest stream going through the farm.

Cooney Creek is the outlet for 27,000 acres of National Forest land that borders us on three sides. The land has been farmed since the early 1700s to produce meat, dairy, fruit and crops for local consumption. Corn and soybean, beef, pork and turkeys were the main products until Jim and Cindy Yancy purchased the land in 1996 for Quarter Horses. The years of creating more grassland and developing mountain springs to supply stock have seen the operation focus on holistic, sustainable practices.

We now have a few good horses who graze along with our beef herd. Red Devon genetics have been used since the first cow was AI’d by Cindy and are the basis for our gentle, thrifty cattle. Our herd is now Red Devon influenced and registered Red Devon. Each year we get closer to our goal of year round grazing. Our stock thrive on natural forages and are supplemented only with hay and minerals. Only emergent care medicines are used to treat injury. We are not certified organic but follow many organic practices. We do embrace sustainable and holistic principles and have where selected as Outstanding NRCS Cooperators of the year.

Processing is done at a USDA facility and beef is dry aged for at least 14 days, cut to customer order, clear vacuum-wrapped and quick frozen. We sell by the cut, halves and whole beef.Beef consistently grades at high select to low choice, providing wonderful eating. Discover for yourself what beef was like prior to industrialization.
