• "...Our weigh in went great! We were told our steers were some of the best behved all day. :) " Brenda- Casper, WY
• "The steers are doing awesome. Tipton named his Teddy and he weighed 854. We are so excited!!! Kylie has named her steer Cowboy and he weighed in at a whoppin 898. I do believe we are well on to a very good looking steer. She is extremely happy with him. Tipton loves Teddy very much too." -Amy Wilson –Jackson, WY
• "The calves weighed good, handling them is easy as can be they just follow us around with no problems. For us those are heavier calves at this time of the year and they have been getting about the same rations food wise that our previous calves have gotten. So they are putting the weight on well, also they are growing well, height wise and thickening throughout." Will-Jackson, WY
• "He is growing very well. And is very calm and nice." Tyler-Jackson, WY
• "Zoe's is very tame and she leads him just fine...Both look great, with lots and lots of hair. " Brenda
• On a phone call, "Just weighed in our steers. They are looking really nice. They weigh good and have only been on hay!" Brennan-Blackfoot, ID

Our Philosophies

We believe 4-H beef projects should be enjoyable, safe and not scary. The lessons our youth learn through their projects reach far beyond the show ring. They instill responsibility and confidence that carry over into many other aspects of their adult lives.

Our calves are handled from birth, quiet and love to be scratched. They are hormone-free and are pasture-raised. Most of our cows are artificially inseminated. Our ultimate goal is to make quality, safe, economical calves.

We strive to keep a balance between performance ability and economical gain. To join our herd a momma cow must have certain qualities: easy to handle, easy-fleshing on grass only and moderately framed. This fleshing ability carries through to the calves to make the beef projects economical. Our cattle consistantly rate a 6-7 body conditioning score "all year round" on nothing but summer pasture and grass-mixed hay in the winter. We feed our cattle less than the average rancher and yet our cattle maintain their body condition!

About Our Mini-Aussies

• Our 2012 puppies are all sold. If interested about a future pup, please email or call us and we'll let you know when our next litter comes.
• We have a 5 year old pure-bred red merle stud male, Tom, for service.
• Tom spends much time outside with us on the ranch and is never kenneled.
• Tom is great around people and very tolerant of other dogs. He is well mannered, compliant and is seldom tied up. We use him as a positive influence on other dogs.
