It has more than a decade of breeding experience, is a member of the Pineywoods Cattle Association, and keeps detailed pedigrees along with routine health testing. Calves have access to live oak shaded paddocks and are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments, while rotational grazing preserves the integrity of each pasture.

Owner Jim Currie has shaped a program that values maternal strength and fertility in every generation. The herd’s bloodlines trace back to early conservation herds, reflecting a commitment to maintaining genetic diversity in this historic breed. Young cattle spend their first months alongside older cows, building social bonds that ease their transition to varied farm roles.
