Meet Our Humans

Jonas Riley Wagyu bull calf

Jonas Riley

Owner, Sales

Jonas was born in Ohio and was very active in 4H and FFA as a child. A general contractor by trade, he found himself drawn back to ranching as he built his wife's bovine and equine handling facility. In 2015, it was Jonas' vision to improve his herd with Wagyu genetics, and Fort Farms is the result. 

Link to Jonas' construction company, Fort Construction LLC. Jonas specializes in "barndominiums", additions, remodels, ICF buildings and safe rooms, and anything unique and challanging.

Owner, Veterinarian

Dr Riley graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary medicine. She has a love for theriogenology, and so our initial herd was born completely of carefully selected genetics and artificial insemination. Her veterinary services are offered locally to select clients and animals.

Dryden

Professional Gate opener

No matter how deep the mud or how tall the weeds, Dryden will hop off any moving all terrain vehicle to ensure the gate is ready and the cows stay put. Dryden has also trained one of the cows to ride. A man of many talents.
