We run both spring and fall calving herds with strict adherence to 65 day breeding seasons twice a year. Open cows are not rolled from herd to herd. Sometimes the “one strike, you’re out” rule costs us some very good cows, but by sticking to this disciplined practice we have seen excellent gains in whole herd conception rates, particularly females that settle after first service. 

We intentionally select genetics that will produce females who possess excellent maternal ability, fertility and quiet dispositions. We understand that the moderate-framed, “easy keeping” kind of female that excels in both efficiency and longevity is possibly more important now than ever with the current economic downturn in the beef industry.
