Several bulls from their herd have placed well in regional livestock shows, recognized for muscle expression and sound structure. Reviews highlight the farm’s transparent breeding records and attentiveness to animal welfare across all stages of development. The farm works closely with local livestock specialists to refine its breeding program.
