Welcome and nice to see you here Ashley. There are many dairy goat breeders in Ohio. What are you looking for in a dairy goat? Just a family milker, show stock, show quality good milking ability...? There are all sorts of combos out there.  
I know a few nubian breeders (I think I have mentioned them before to you) in OH. I don't know many other breeders with different breed in that area though. I mainly focous on the nubians and Saanens.
You can check out my website if you want. (It's currently being updated, but you can take a look around and see what you think.)

Hello Laura...Ashley, I bought a wonderful nubian from Laura last year.
I raise nubian, a few alpines, and dabble in sanaan/nubian crosses.

The lamanchas that I mentioned are show quality.
I raise registered american and purebred nubians, and registered american alpines.
What part of Ohio are you located in? We are in Southwest Ohio.

Hi, Ashley! Nice to 'meet' you.
I'm Abby. I'm a 4-Her too. Goats are awesome.
Sorry, but I dont know any goat breeders in Ohio. Looks like you've got enough ideas from the other users, though.
Good luck! hope you find what you want.
