Our Business and Cattle Breeding Philosophy

Our plan is to eliminate the reasons people would not use whiteface cattle.  Following is how we want our cattle and business to be:

• Our cattle have to be profitable for both of us.
• We want at least half of our customers to be repeat customers.
• We seek out the optimum in our cattle not the maximum.
• We will be honest in all aspects of our operation.  We will always tell you the truth about our cattle.
• Bulls and Heifers you buy from us will be born unassisted, from problem free cows.
• Replacements we keep will be born unassisted from problem free cows.
• To ensure constant improvement, we will annually cull any cattle that fail to live up to our expectations.
• Our cattle will be raised on a primarily forage based ration much like a commercial herd.
• Calves will be raised till weaning weights are taken without creep feed or supplement.
• Herd bull selection for our herd will be based on our goal of optimum production.
• An animal's performance will be more important to us than his pedigree.
