In 2000 we began raising a small herd of crossbred cattle.  Over time, we discovered that the cows with a higher percentage of Brahma retained their weight better after calving, and had superb dispositions.
Four years later, we decided to move towards purebreds.  We chose Beefmaster cattle.

Beefmasters are comprised of 50% Brahma, 25% Hereford, & 25% Shorthorn cattle.  The breed was developed on what has become known as the Six Essentials - Weight, Conformation, Milking Ability, Fertility, Hardiness and Disposition.   Today's Beefmaster breeders continue to strive for the standard of excellence expressed in these six essentials. They also select for calving ease, fast early growth, moderate frame, easy fleshing ability and longevity.  Beefmaster cattle have no color requirements, and can be horned or polled.
