This year we've got 33 fall calvers for sale, 20 of which are bred heifers.  All of these are born, bred, and raised on our Southern Missouri KY-31 Fescue ranch, *except where noted, and bred to full blood South Poll Bulls.  The sales list can be accessed on our sales page. 

We're focused on grass conversion efficiency, raising heat adapted cattle that thrive on KY-31 fescue and that can be productive on pasture without requiring energy supplements.

Here is a video of them in the corals after being sorted, run through the shoot, and sleeve preg-checked.

In the Spring of 2023 I was given the opportunity to speak at the Central Missouri Forage & Beef Conference in Vienna, MO.  The title assigned to me was "Grazing more with Less".  I talked about using a "Moneyball" approach to a Southern Missouri grass ranch cow-calf operation. 

Moneyball is a movie based on the 2003 nonfiction book, "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game", by Michael Lewis. The book is an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team. In the film, Beane (Brad Pitt) and assistant general manager Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), faced with the franchise's limited budget for players, build a team of undervalued talent by taking a sophisticated sabermetric approach to scouting and analyzing players.
