Under the care of Joel Franseen, the operation follows industry health protocols with routine veterinary screenings and herd management practices aligned with national beef council guidelines. Calves graze on rotational pasture systems and spend time in sheltered loafing areas to support strong growth and natural social behavior. The farm emphasizes balanced nutrition, combining forage-based diets with targeted minerals to promote muscle development and reproductive health.

A focus on temperament, structural soundness and feed efficiency has led to breeding lines favored by regional ranchers. They maintain records in line with breed association standards to ensure pedigree traceability and genetic consistency. The farm’s rolling pastures and covered calving pens support a seasonally adaptable environment that honors traditional livestock stewardship.
