See Why Land & Livestock

See Why Land & Livestock, Murray Grey cattle, Melba, Idaho, in southwestern Idaho near Boise. Randy Cussins and Kari Cussins have more than fifteen years of experience breeding Murray Greys and maintain active memberships with national cattle associations while following recommended health testing protocols.

Their cattle graze on irrigated pasture and are handled daily to promote calm temperaments, and calves are weaned in a low-stress environment. The farm follows rotational grazing practices that support soil health and provide animals with fresh forage year round. A recent reviewer noted consistent, approachable communication and praised the Cussins' straightforward focus on quality breeding over volume.

Their selective breeding program emphasizes structural soundness and moderate frame size to adapt well to varied climates. See Why Land & Livestock coordinates with local veterinarians for routine health checks and vaccination schedules to support herd well-being. The family-run ranch has been in the Cussins family for over thirty years, reflecting a commitment to stewardship and consistency in livestock care.
