Ryan judges an Ohio B.E.S.T. show.

Ryan spent the weekend sorting cattle at the Holmes County B.E.S.T. show.  My brother Dustin and I got the chance to watch him on Sunday sort steers.  It was a privilege to watch him evaluate and talk the cattle.  We agreed on most placings.

Calves Arriving!!

Last spring we flushed Redbird to Daddy's Money.  She gave us 14 viable eggs and we ended up with 2/4 pregnancies.  The first calf from this mating arrived last week and the other is due any day now.  Based on Redbirds success with I-80, and I-67 we are stoked about this mating and what this year has in store.  Look for updates later this spring.

Beauty of Autumn.

Thank you!!

Thank you to our loyal customers as well as new ones for turning out in spite of the weather. The rain held off long enough to view the calves and get the bidding done. The Mattocks family is blessed beyond belief to be able to raise cattle and work with awesome people. Thank you to the Rankins and Schmidts for the sale help. Thank you to all the bidders for your confidence in us. Thank you to my parents and my wife's parents. And above all, thank you God for the passion, ability, and resources to assemble a set of cattle and provide a great set of homes for them to go to.
