We have tested his progeny in our herd
against numerous bulls in the top 10% of the breed. Tiger's calves
always come to the top, with one exception - Ory's Cherokee McCue,
whose dam is Tiger's full sister. Now, Tiger's daughters are
proving to be some of the best cows we have ever owned!
I have not been able to update our web
site, since we lost our beloved Tiger in April 2005. He lost his
recip dam when he was born. We raised him on my bottle calf (that I
could not sell). When he was 3 days old I made a little halter for
him and he would go in with the show claves that were tied up and
act like a show calf. Little did he know that such greatness would
come of him. He loved going to the shows and being at the end of the
aisle. I can not begin to tell you how many people petted him and
took pictures. Denny and I still cannot talk about him. He is still
missed every day. |
WELCOME!
Our seedstock
operation has been our livelihood for over 40 years. It has evolved
from two kids with beef projects into an operation striving to
produce cattle that will fit the commercial producers' needs. We
have never followed the fads and extremes that have hurt so many
operations.
Today, our cattle are
larger and more efficient than when we began, but our selection
criteria is much the same. We strive to breed cattle that are
moderate framed, structurally correct, easy fleshing, with high
fertility and carcass values to fit today's beef market.
At the same time, our
cattle must have enough quality and eye appeal to be competitive in
the show ring.
We
welcome all inquiries and visitors any time!

 When
My daughter, Heather, started selling real estate, she and Jo
Ann kept pressuring
me to get my license. I must say, I am
thankful they did. I have found selling real estate gives me an
opportunity to meet people from all over the United States.
Being a farmer and
cattleman all of my life gives me a distinct edge on finding
land and farms that will work for buyers.
