The operation has been raising these cattle for several years and is registered with recognized breed associations that emphasize pedigree tracking and breed standards.

Animals graze on rotational pastures under mature oak trees, with open-front shelters that facilitate early handling and social interaction.

Calves begin hands-on routines shortly after birth to ease transitions for new owners and build familiarity with farm equipment. Clients note the uniform coat patterns and calm disposition of their calves, reflecting deliberate selection for gentle behavior and adaptability to varied climates. The farm combines family tradition with thoughtful stewardship to maintain a stable environment year-round.
