Neighbors appreciate the carefully managed breeding schedule that balances calving seasons with feed availability.

They maintain a small-scale operation focused on sustainability and have seen bulls earn performance testing honors at state trials. Detailed updates on herd health and calving records reflect their commitment to openness with local buyers.
