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.

yearling heifer customer testimonial -
Hi Gene
-
The heifer I
purchased last year, 022 "Vanna" had her calf yesterday. He is
by ABS bull "Doc Silver" and was about 70 lbs.
He came easily, jumped up, and is doing
very well. Good looking calf - Mamma and baby are both healthy
and happy!

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.

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.
