QUALITY COWS CREATE QUALITY CALVES

Why Our Cattle Excel:

• High Elevation Performance:
  Our cattle handle elevations of 8,000+ feet with ease. We select only bulls that PAP test well to ensure they perform in high-altitude conditions without health concerns.

• Moderate Size & Efficiency:

  • Our cows average 1,200 pounds with a moderate frame.

  • They use fewer natural resources while maintaining body condition year-round, even in rough terrain.

  • We aim for cows that can wean calves weighing 40-50% of their body weight.

• Maternal Strength & Independence:

  • First-calf heifers receive assistance if needed, but we calve them outside on pasture, not in the barn or in jugs.

  • After their first year, they’re expected to calve unassisted and bring home a healthy calf every year.

  • Our cows are selected for strong maternal instincts and the ability to handle calves with minimal interference.

• Low-Input Cattle:

  • Bred for resilience, our cattle are efficient with their feed and minimal doctoring due to their robust immune systems.

  • They maintain condition on natural forage, even in challenging weather and rough landscapes.

  • We do not trim feet on our cattle; we believe in selecting for natural soundness and structural integrity, ensuring they can thrive in rough terrain without extra maintenance.

• Good Temperament:

  • We value cattle with calm, reliable dispositions that can be managed in corrals, on horseback, or on foot without trouble.

• Hybrid Vigor:

  • Our Black Angus-Hereford crosses produce Black Baldy calves known for their adaptability, growth, and hardiness.​​
