If these goals match your ranch goals, then we'd like to be your herd
bull supplier. |
We cull a minimum of 15% of our cow herd annually based on calf
weaning weights in relationship to cow body weight, thus
perpetuating the most efficient and predictable performing cows in our
herd. These important traits are then passed on to our valued customers.
Breeding cattle - a job we take seriously! |
