Most registered cattle breeders are driven to have the biggest weaning and yearling EPD’s along with “breed leading” EPD’s for most measure traits.  We recognized years ago that raising cattle for extremes is a formula for disaster.  By the mid-1990’s, we were adding rules to our cowherd and culling cattle that couldn’t make the cut.  As time evolved, our rules have gotten tougher and our zero-tolerance culling drives improvement in our herd.  We are absolutely committed to the American Hereford Association’s total performance records and are one of only 23 members of the Association to reach the Platinum TPR level for collecting data on all traits along with pulling DNA on every calf.  Our cattle are optimal for our region and we work everyday to raise cattle that are fertile, efficient, functional, and long lasting.
