Blue
Branch Cattle Farms
Blue
Branch Farms is the name of our commerical cow operation here
in McCormick County. We run around 600 cows on 1,500 acres of
pastureland.
We
use Angus and Brangus in a two-breed crisscross program to generate
females that excel as momma cows.
In
2001, Blue Branch Farms had the Grand Champion Pen of commercial
heifers at the Georgia Beef Expo. We returned in 2002 to capture
the Reserve Grand Champion Pen.
These
Brangus/Angus crossbred females really excel in our area. We continue
to retain ownership of their steer-mates and utilize Taylor Livestock
Services for our custom preconditioning and marketing needs. These
Brangus sired calves perform exceptionally well in the feedyards
at Precision Feeders in Iowa and we generally generate carcass
premiums.
We
do sell some of our replacement heifers to the public each spring,
so contact us if you are interested. |
