We have bred cows that just flat out work in the commercial environment. They have been selected for longevity, maternal calving ease, foot structure, udder quality and overall performance.  They have to work in the commercial environment right alongside our commercial cows. Cows are exposed to bulls for 45 days, and any open cattle are no longer retained for the purebred or commercial herd. We believe in making cattle as trouble free as possible. Cattle are managed in a way that makes them work for us and not the other way around.
