Honored to be recognized by the American Angus Association as a GOLD level Data Driven Herd! Only 1 of 4 herds to be recognized in the state of Virginia along with our good friends at Knoll Crest Farm.

The data drives our decisions and makes your cattle better when you use our genetics!

The 299 herds who earned 2026 Data Driven Herd recognition are spread across 37 states.

This year's participation is more than double that of the program’s inaugural year. Read more about the 2026 program wrap up in the Angus.org Member Center: https://www.angus.org/member-center/announcements/2026/08/participation-doubles-in-data-driven-herd-programs-second-year

We haven’t posted much lately, because honestly, it’s not pretty 🌾 The drought is real, and it’s going to be felt for a while. Some stockpiled fescue has saved us from feeding hay, but there is only so much of that to go around. We trust that the Lord will provide in His timing.

With that being said, we are blessed to be free because of the brave! God Bless America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy 250 years of freedom, America! 🦅🦅🦅
