Big shout out to Ty’s Rig Welding Service LLC for helping me out. I’ve replaced this jack stand once and had it fixed twice. This should do the trick for good! Quality work at a fair price!

Improving Genetics. Stewarding the Land.

Regenerative agriculture doesn’t mean never using herbicides. It means making thoughtful decisions to improve the land over time.

We’ve struggled to control sweetgum saplings in one of our silvopasture paddocks. After other management efforts proved insufficient, we made the decision to use aerial herbicide application—a rare intervention for us.

Our goal is to preserve the mature pines, control encroaching woody growth, and improve forage production while continuing to build healthier, more productive pastures.

Sometimes good land stewardship requires a different approach.

For my producer friends, this is a great article explaining the value (and limitations) of EPDs. We will be genetically testing every registered calf next spring to improve our understanding of our herd and assist in breeding and culling decisions.

What does the “E” in EPD actually mean? Expected Progeny Difference.

The word “expected” matters.

A calf receives about half of its DNA from its sire and half from its dam—but the particular genes it inherits are a random sample. That means calves from the same parents can still be genetically different.

Improving Genetics. Stewarding the Land.

Low-stress stockmanship helps keep our cattle calm and comfortable while making handling and movement easier for them and us. Less stress is better for the cattle—and that’s the goal.

Three full brothers with a lot of future ahead of them.

These three embryo-transfer bull calves are full siblings, sired by Masterpiece and out of our donor cow, Majestik Beacon 795 H16.

They were weaned about a month ago and have handled the transition extremely well. This fall, they’ll head to Rose Bud Bull Development, where Keith Cagle will work his magic and give them the opportunity to show us what they can do.

The plan is for them to sell in the fall of 2027, hopefully at the CDP Brangus Fall Production Sale—but we’re seriously considering keeping one of these brothers as a future herd bull here at Beech Creek Farms.

So we’d like to hear from you: P5, P3, or P4—which one is your favorite?

We’ll be watching them closely over the next year. It should be fun to see how these three develop.
