Our headquarters is located in Oak Grove with ranches in Lone Jack, Chilhowee and Warsaw. We offer Registered Bulls and Females for sale Valley Oaks Angus has been breeding Angus cattle for 35 years in Oak Grove, MO. Our goal has been focusing on functional cattle for both the registered and commercial cattle producer. We have strived to produce females with proven performance behind them by utilizing predictable sires that combine balanced EPD values with excellent phenotypes. Valley Oaks was founded by David and Sandra Ward in 1992 with the purchase of the Brady Land and Cattle herd from K**b Noster, Missouri. The Valley Oaks herd grew rapidly from 1993-95, held its first annual production sale in 1993, and the 5 following years. Valley Oaks had very notable staff through the early years with Bill Conley and Dallas Wolthemathe as Farm Managers and Jarrod Gillig (former NJAA president) as herdsman/show cattle manager. After many successful years of production sales and show seasons through the mid 90’s and early 2000’s, Valley Oaks decreased their herd size to a more manageable number once all of the children were in college. Now that the children (Tony, Clayton, and Cassie and their families) have all returned to the area, the farm and family is growing and aggressively breeding Angus cattle with performance, phenotype, and the commercial breeder all in mind. The Valley Oaks is Managed by Jeff Gooden (formally of Circle A Ranch in Missouri). Jeff has worked in the cattle industry for over 35 years and has brought an abundance of knowledge to Valley Oaks. Previously to Valley Oaks, Jeff was heavily involved in bull development, herd management, registered genetics, and show cattle. Jeff is now combining all of his skills to efficiently manages all facets of Valley Oaks. He also manages with our Valley Oaks Angus Buy Back Program. We are very thankful to have Jeff as a part of our team and we look forward to seeing the continued success he brings to our program. Valley Oaks now operates ranches in Lone Jack, Chilhowee (managed by Justin Pattick) and Warsaw (managed by Reed Gooden) Missouri as well as the finishing farm in Garden City (managed by Doug Norush) Missouri. Valley Oaks has two sister companies that works directly on direct meats sales to the public, Valley Oaks Meats in Blue Springs Missouri (managed by Kendra Pryor) and Premier Genetic that collects and sell semen internationally (managed by Isaiah Schnurman).
