Cattle in a field on the Coal Creek Farm

Homegrown Bulls

I love this time of year. Flowers are popping up everywhere, and our cattle seem to love the Spring weather, too.

We have been breeding our cattle with the long-term goal of creating the perfect bull for the Plateau. I’m confident that we are on the right track, and a few of this year’s baby calves will strengthen the genetic lines of our herd.
