Local buyers often note the calm disposition and consistent frame improvements seen across generations.

Their boutique herd emphasizes maternal traits and beef quality, with calves weaned through a low-stress protocol that reduces health setbacks.

Each animal carries a registered pedigree with documented EPDs, and records are updated regularly for transparency.
