We select our replacement heifers from strong, predictable cow families. They are the
building blocks of every good beef herd. We look for sound structure, good disposition
and predictable ability to be an above average producer.

Muridale Touchdown is clicking with our cows to prove that he is a true performance sire. He weighed 2,500 pounds on fall pasture after the 2011 breeding season and is siring heifers that really press down the scales and have that "brood cow" characteristic. Our calves are NOT creep fed— they are raised on momma’s milk and grass only. Their weaning weights in Oct. are as follows: |
