We have been breeding Red Angus since
1971. Our foundation females came from Earl Werling, an early Iowa
Breeder, Mid-America Cattle Company and George Chiga. We also purchased
a large group of Ankonian Dynamo daughters when Ankony Angus dispersed
their southern Iowa ranch.
From the beginning to the present,
most of our breeding has been by A.I., utilizing the best Red Angus
genetics available, with an occasional infusion of outcross blood from
an outstanding Black Angus sire. One of these outcross sires which had a
tremendous impact in our herd was P.S. Power Play. Extended pedigrees of
our cattle would show him appearing several times in most individuals.
We have always tried to breed
"Cattle for the Real World", and have practiced Total Herd
Reporting and 100% Performance Testing for the entire 39 years of our
existence. Our breeding program has focused on reasonable birth weights,
excellent mothering ability, fast growth, and superior carcasses. A highlight of our career was being named
"Iowa Seedstock Producer of 1992" over all breeds. |
