He has spent years developing a herd aligned with registry recommendations and follows routine health testing to ensure sound genetics.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures that are replanted seasonally to optimize forages, and each animal receives daily hands-on care to promote calm temperaments. Feeding focuses on balanced rations that support steady growth without overly concentrated feeds. A small herd size allows for individual record-keeping and tailored nutrition plans, which many local farmers appreciate for the consistent performance and docile nature of the animals.

Local reviews often mention the robust frame and even temperament of the cattle, reflecting a breeding approach rooted in care and patience. Rick’s involvement with area agricultural associations and regular consultations with veterinarians reinforce a commitment to herd health that extends beyond standard requirements. Prospective buyers in the region find that the combination of sound structure and gentle disposition matches well with a range of farming operations.
