Mission Statement
To breed and market Registered sires, dams and heifers to commercial and registered cattlemen with the choice of three distinct breeds of cattle. We have collected the highest quality genetics in the cattle industry from each group’s leading producer. The first group is composed largely of Registered Gardiner Angus Ranch (English) cattle. The second group is composed largely of Registered Judd Ranch Gelbvieh (Continental) cattle. The third breed is Registered Balancers that are largely made of genetically crossed cattle from these two breeds to produce the best heterosis package available. This system gives the cattlemen the value added performance genetics and choice options to use to improve their herds.
