Thank you for visiting our ranching operation electronically!  We are a family ranch focused on raising quality Polled Hereford cattle.  We have been blessed to have crossed paths with two families who have been in the Hereford breed for decades.  They both happen to be Willis's.  Initially, Estle and Frances Willis provided us with our first heifer out of one of their benchmark dams.  She happen to be a twin and these 2 heifers turned into the foundation of our early herd. We now have 5 generations of their progeny in production.  While Estle used his experience in evaluating animals based on physical characteristics and production, their son Mike added genetic evaluation, breeding and strict culling practices into the process and in turn developed one of the most consistent quality herds in the breed.  We will always be indebted to them for their wisdom, honesty, integrity and guidance in assisting us in developing our herd.

In 2003, we added dams from the Felton Ranch in Marysville, Missouri and hope to benefit from Frank Feltons' decades of experience in developing one of the most complete herds in the United States.  These cows will be the foundation of our donor cow program for years to come. In addition, we have purchased embryo's from some of the best pairings in the Hereford breed.

In 2004, we have added genetic diversity to our herd with acquisitions from some of the best ranches in the breed.  We hope to blend these bloodlines together to produce a line of cattle that will benefit other Hereford breeders in this region.  If you have any questions or comments that can help us improve our website or our operation, please let us know.
