Position Summary:



We are a medium sized family owned and operated cow calf operation. We raise Gelbvieh Balancers. Our heard is about half registered and half commercial. Currently, we have about 300 pairs. After our fall and spring calving seasons, we retain our heifers to continue build our herd to the goal of 600. We use our commercial steers for our direct-to-table beef business, and either retain or sell our registered bulls for breeding. In the coming years, we intend to start our own on the farm bull and heifer sales, in conjunction with opening a wedding venue. In order to accomplish this, the farm we operate, which is about 100 years old, is in need of some modernization in order to make it fit our desired premium image.



With the expansion of the herd as well as future growth ambitions, we are adding a second position to the operation. This position will be a pivotal role in our operation.
