For three decades, our family has been raising a combination of 100+ registered and commercial Black Angus cattle. Our foundational cows come from some of the top cattle operations in the country, including Deer Valley Farms, Crazy K Ranch, Spruce Mountain, and Boyd Angus. Our core herd includes some of the finest genetics in the central and western parts of Kentucky. Key EPD’s are generally in the upper national percentiles while maintaining an excellent phenotype. Our philosophy is simple, we focus on developing exceptional females, then breeding our heifers/cows with some of the best AI sires in the country.  Stan Carnes of Multigen Reproductive Solutions, Stanford, KY, does all of the AI, flushes, and embryo transfers.  As the old saying goes, “Behind every good man is a great woman”.  The same principle applies to cows.  We don’t just take cows and AI them to great bulls. We raise high quality females that focus heavily on maternal traits, then pair up with an excellent sire to produce a great mama cow. While our preference is on raising females, we can’t always control the outcome, so we offer a small number of outstanding bulls every year. As far as nutrition, we use a moderate amount of well balance feed as well as a high-end mineral from KNS. We didn’t raise our children on fast food and feel the same way about our cattle.  Too many calories may promote weight growth. However, too many calories doesn’t necessarily provide for good structural body growth and can also lead to other issues such as foot problems.   All cattle get daily contact and interaction in order to develop a gentle disposition.  As far as sales and marketing, we don’t sell any cattle that we wouldn’t keep ourselves. Integrity is the most important word in the cattle business, and we stand behind the genetic accuracy of all our cows and bulls. We are members of:
