Calves are handled gently from birth by experienced handlers to encourage ease of management and early socialization. Cattle graze on managed pastures rich in native forage and spend time in open barns that allow for natural movement and social interaction. Nutrition is based on rotational grazing supplemented by hay in winter months to maintain optimal body condition year-round. Local ranchers appreciate their consistent build and gentle disposition throughout the year, noting calves that adapt quickly to handling. Breeding selections focus on balanced performance in forage environments and temperament suited to family farms.
