Might be nice people - and I know they blow big $ on ads with cattle today - but their cattle are not what is promoted. Calving ease is hardly 100+ in my book. They will put a muscle on anything, but extremely slow maturing and hard to breed as heifers. My angus were all bred and only half of the rom-angus heifers ever did breed. Upon serious questioning - they admit to starving their cows pre-calving to lower calving wt- just opposite what should be done. Full blood bulls seemed calm- but man what fence jumpers their offspring were wild - and out of very calm cows. I guess you can halter break anything to calm it down - but the wild blood is still in there. They are a TERMINAL only breed - do not waste your time trying to keep the cows. Again they do grow well, but take what the "nice people" with big check books say with several grains of salt.
