Wye Plantation Angus

Wye Plantation Angus is an angus cattle breeder in Queenstown, MD, Queen Anne’s County near Annapolis. Affiliated with the University of Maryland’s Wye Research and Education Center, it participates in performance testing and maintains registration through the American Angus Association. Since the 1970s, the farm has refined bloodlines through decades of data-driven selection and environmental adaptation. The herd is managed on rotational pasture with attention to balanced nutrition and low-stress handling. All cattle undergo routine health screenings to support longevity and sound structure.

Calves spend early weeks in covered pens for daily socialization before joining the main pasture. Farm staff bring research findings to everyday care with a focus on feed efficiency and maternal traits. Generations of records guide selection for quiet temperament and robust growth, while bull development and open heifer programs benefit from on-site evaluation and comprehensive performance reporting.
