e began our operation in 1965, with the purchase of 40 acres of
pasture & hay ground in south central Iowa (cow country).
A year later, we bought our first cows - 10 half-blood Charolais. In
1969, we expanded the farm with the purchase of 160
acres, & then purchased 10 more half-blood Charolais cows
along with a Charolais bull and began raising & keeping
replacements.
From this herd of 20 cows, we have bred up to a purebred,
registered herd. Today, the farm has expanded to 650 acres with 100+
head of spring-calving cows. Show prospects, bulls, and bred
heifers for sale year round.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS |

bred heifer customer testimonial -
Gene - I am very happy with this group of Charolais heifers. I want
to thank you for the honesty with which you sold these cattle.
I appreciated working with you, and I hope we can do business again
in the future. I like the cattle even more today than when I first
saw them. They truly are a testimony to your breeding program.

bull customer testimonial -
We sold all of our
calves last week in Denison. They were right off the cow with NO
vaccinations or implants. Our herd of 92 head
averaged 592# after a
200 mile ride. We did creep them this year for the 1st time, and our
weaning weights went up 60# per head.
Before we started using
your bulls, our calves averaged only 490# at this same time of year.
We also had a group of 20 steers that
averaged 714# and
brought $1.14/pound. Needless to say, with the corn market and
dropping calf market - we were very pleased!
Just wanted to let you
know in case you would ever like a referral on your bulls.

bred heifer customer testimonial -
Gene - Just wanted to let you know that B538 had a nice bull
calf this morning. He weighed 85-90 lbs, and she had it all by
herself.
Robbi and I could not ask for anything more. We love
the Charolais - and their calves do tremendous!
Thanks
for everything.
