Ca le Producers, We would like to start off by saying THANK YOU! Thank you for trus ng our program.

Thank you for considering using our gene cs in your herd. Thank you for taking the me to visit with us. It is our privilege to be able to provide gene cs that help feed the world.

We are a 5th genera on farm with this being the first genera on in the registered Angus business. We believe we treat our cow herd as the commercial ca le producer would and we believe that creates mothers of bulls that will work for your opera on. Our cows eat nearly 100% fescue year around. They are moved daily in our Management Intensive Grazing system and we expect them to produce in this environment. They are given 60 days to breed back and open cows are culled. They are fed open choice Vitaferm “Concept-Aid” and “Heat” mineral throughout the year.

As far as our bull development goes, once the bulls have been weaned, they graze in a fescue pasture with access to a feed ra on and hay. Fescue is their primary feed source.

Near the end of June, they head to the Wardensville Bull Test Sta on in West Virginia to be developed on a forage based ra on. At Wardensville, they are able to track and document forage and water intake through the GrowSafe™ System. This is cri cal informa on to document as we con nually push for feed efficient animals. Feed costs (especially winter feed) are the largest driver to profitability on the farm. If we can iden fy the animals that eat less and gain more, we can increase your overall profitability. Once the bulls return from Wardensville, they graze fescue pastures and are fed a custom blend feed ra on. These bulls are developed in a balanced fashion; growing them to where they can perform as a yearling, but not overdeveloped to impact func onal longevity.

We believe this to be our most balanced bull offering to date. It will not be hard to find something that will meet the needs of your program. Thank you again for your interest in this outstanding offering of bulls. If there is ever anything we can do to help you or your program, please let us know.
