Significant progress at the Curtis Cattle Ranch. New sorting system for the cattle. The reality of getting older and how easy it is to make one misjudgment when working cattle that can reach up to 2400 pounds, brought us to purchase the new system. It has been quite the undertaking setting it all up with a 96 year old a 65 year old and well a 50 something woman. Thanks to the tractor it was able to be done. Mark did 90% of the work while Herb and I got in the way.

What do you usually do with chuck steaks or all those roasts? I always ended up with the last of my beef being roasts! On my custom beef cut, I typically have everything that can be a steak cut, with the rest going to hamburger. Now that the kids are gone, I don’t need as much burger, so it looks like I’ll be getting a few roasts next time! This recipe is amazing!!!

At Curtis Cattle Ranch, Mark and Jeannie prioritize selection genetics to ensure their herd of registered Red Angus cattle consistently produces high-quality beef. By focusing on traits such as fertility, growth rate, feed efficiency, and carcass quality, they utilize tools like Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) to make informed breeding decisions. This approach allows them to raise healthier, more efficient cattle that thrive on their locally-grown feed and summer grazing pastures. Selection genetics not only enhances the productivity of their ranch but also supports their commitment to sustainable practices and providing premium, hormone-free beef to their customers. For Mark and Jeannie, this process reflects their dedication to producing exceptional beef while maintaining the integrity and tradition of their family-operated ranch.

Curtis Cattle Ranch Awarded Grant for Pasture Management

We’re thrilled to share that Curtis Cattle Ranch has received a grant to support our pasture management efforts! As stewards of the land, we believe it’s our responsibility to care for the environment while ensuring the health of our cattle. This grant has allowed us to take important steps toward more sustainable and efficient land use.

With these funds, we’ve installed new feeders and implemented cross-fencing to support flash grazing—a system that allows our cattle to graze intensively in smaller areas for short periods. This practice not only ensures our pastures are grazed evenly but also gives them time to rest and regenerate, promoting healthier forage and reducing soil erosion.

We’ve been diligently working to complete these improvements before winter arrived, and we’re happy to report that we finished just in time! The timing couldn’t have been better, as these changes will positively impact both our herd and the land for seasons to come.

At Curtis Cattle Ranch, we’re proud to combine tradition with innovation to ensure the health of our cattle, our pastures, and the environment. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission to raise high-quality, sustainable Red Angus beef!

Artificial Insemination (AI) in Cattle: What It Is and Why We Use It at Curtis Cattle Ranch

At Curtis Cattle Ranch, we use artificial insemination (AI) as a key tool to improve our herd of registered Red Angus cattle. AI is a reproductive technology that involves collecting semen from top-tier bulls, processing it, and depositing it into a cow’s reproductive tract at the optimal time for conception. This method allows us to enhance the genetics of our herd and improve efficiency in our breeding program.

Why Curtis Cattle Ranch Uses AI
1. Genetic Excellence
AI gives us access to superior genetics from bulls across the country, enabling us to enhance desirable traits in our Red Angus herd, such as fertility, calving ease, growth potential, and carcass quality. This ensures we meet high breed standards while providing exceptional beef to our customers.
2. Cost Efficiency
Maintaining a herd of high-quality bulls can be costly. With AI, we can achieve outstanding genetics without the expense of owning and feeding multiple bulls.
3. Safety on the Ranch
Bulls can be unpredictable and dangerous. Using AI reduces the need for direct interaction with bulls, making breeding safer for everyone on the ranch.
4. Calving Uniformity
AI allows us to synchronize breeding, ensuring calves are born within a short timeframe. This results in a more uniform calf crop, simplifying management and improving the consistency of our beef production.
5. Health and Biosecurity
AI minimizes the risk of disease transmission compared to natural breeding, helping us maintain a healthy herd.

Our AI Expertise

Jeannie Curtis, co-owner of Curtis Cattle Ranch, is committed to continually improving the ranch’s operations. She attended the University of Idaho’s Artificial Insemination program in Boise, where she gained the knowledge and skills to successfully implement AI in our breeding program. This training has been instrumental in helping us raise high-quality Red Angus cattle without the use of growth hormones, ensuring a healthy and sustainable approach to beef production.

At Curtis Cattle Ranch, AI is not just about improving genetics—it’s about upholding our commitment to producing premium, locally raised beef while maintaining the health, safety, and efficiency of our ranch.
