The Cow HerdThe heart of our breeding program is a foundation of females we are proud to build upon and develop herd sires that walk and work out in the field.
These cows are selected for strong maternal traits and performance. They must be sound structured, have a solid udder and milk to raise their calves and a temperament that allows us to work the cattle as a family. |
