Philosophies Behind Our Bulls
- Honesty and integrity will never be compromised.
- We will manage the natural resources placed under our control in a sustainable manner.
- The breed of cattle is not nearly as important as the breeding program and the philosophies that produce the cattle.
- Cows are run in a real-world environment, as tough as or tougher than the environment most commercial cows are run in.
- We let the environment sort out the good ones, while we show absolutely no sympathy for open, late, or dry cows.
- We will never make an excuse for a cow. A cow must produce and wean a calf every year to remain in the herd.
- By limiting feed resources, we try to apply sufficient pressure on the cowherd to force out the unadapted and infertile animals — at least 10 percent each year.
- In addition to growth and performance, we select for some other vital economic traits like fertility, calving ease, moderate cow size, fleshing ability, structural correctness, disposition, and longevity.
- Replacement heifers are developed on a low-cost, forage-based diet with minimum supplements. We only want the most efficient and most adapted heifers to make it into the cowherd.
- A bull calf must be born unassisted from an efficient, moderate-sized cow that has never missed in order to make it into one of our bull sales.
