Larson Angus and Charolais The Home of Working Cattle |
Genetic selection goes deeper than just performance in our operation. We put a conscious effort into selecting cattle for functional traits such as disposition, good udders, and sound feet and leg structure. |
All bulls kept are put on a high roughage feed ration and pushed for a 3 lb gain per day. We have found that this lets us tell which bull is the best gainer but still provides the customer with bulls that have more longevity. A hot ration pushing bulls for extreme gains is harmful to both fertility and longevity. The bulls are also tested for both anaplasmosis and chronic BVD. |
Calves learn early that we are not out to hurt them. We don't put up with cattle that are hard to work with. |
