About our Operation

FEED PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy on feeding, whether it be during development or on our dams in the pasture is to never over-condition.  We rely on our strict culling to determine which genetics are working for us and not the other way around. By not over-feeding, it shows us any animals that just aren’t keeping up with the others and we can make better decisions for us and our customers.

honesty

Honesty and integrity are essential in developing a lasting relationship with our customers.  The data on any seedstock suppliers genetics are only as accurate and the person recording them. We do not cut corners or bend the data when it comes to our cattle.  We take pride in having 100% tranparency with our current and future buyers.

genetics that work

We treat our registered herd just like the average cow-calf man treats his.  Like the cow-calf man we are to busy to have to deal with animals that waste time and dollars.  Fertility, udder quality, foot quality, feed efficiency, fleshing ability, and most importantly docililty are all traits we cull very hard on when it comes to our cow families and replacement females.

Today’s beef industry requires that you work hard for your cow herd. With Gelbvieh and Gelbvieh-influenced cattle, your cow herd will work as hard as you do.

Pounds still pay. It’s well documented that the Gelbvieh cow weans off more pounds of calf. And a Gelbvieh bull on your commercial cows gives you an advantage in heterosis. That means at weaning time, you’ll get bigger rewards.

You don’t have time to do Mother Nature’s job. Gelbvieh cattle are known for their fertility, milking and mothering abilities, and docility. You don’t have worry about losing money on cows that don’t breed back or cows that won’t raise a calf. And, should there ever be a problem you don’t have to worry about handling an animal.

The Meat Animal Research Center shows that Gelbvieh cattle have worked harder than any other breed at maintaining a moderate framed cow – meaning that those cows maximize efficiency and save you dollars.

FESCUE RAISED GENETICS

Our headquarters are in NE Kansas but our cattle graze in different locations with different grasses.  We have cattle that graize the bluestem from the Flint Hills and we have herds that live in Central Missouri in the heart of fescue country.  Ask us for our Fescue Formatted bulls and heifers if this is a priority for you!

EARLY BRED A.I. HEIFERS

Over the years we have offered a unique program to our open heifer buyers.  We fully develop the heifers and put them through an A.I. protocol to be backed up with a bull from us or one that the buyer currently owns.  We normally hit 70% or higher conception rate and sell these below the bred market price.
