He adheres to breed registry standards and follows a schedule of vaccinations and health screenings for all breeding stock.

His cattle graze rotational pastures bordered by shade trees, and calves remain with their dams in a low-stress family herd environment. The operation balances traditional farm values with modern pasture management techniques to support both meat quality and cow longevity. Customers often comment on the herd’s calm temperament and uniform build, which reflect careful breeding decisions and attentive husbandry. Strict biosecurity measures and individualized nutrition plans further contribute to herd health and predictable performance. Ben documents each calf’s birth weights and growth records to guide selection and monitor progress.
