In order to offer high quality females to our customers, we only purchase replacement quality weaned calves each fall and winter. We buy a large percentage of these calves from herds that utilize our own bulls or our previously marketed bred heifers. Additionally, calves we purchase must be pre-conditioned with a complete vaccination program in order to ensure health and performance. Throughout the winter and spring, these heifer calves are fed a high forage diet to aid in consistent growth and maintaining hoof quality.

Prior to starting the synchronization process, roughly 25-30% of our heifers are culled out of the breeding program if they do not meet our quality, docility, or structure standards. This helps us to make sure that customers are purchasing high quality, problem free heifers that will be valuable additions to their cow herds. Simply put, if at any time during the breeding process a heifer gives us a reason to cull her, she will be culled. 

Following synchronization and being AI'ed, the heifers are exposed to home raised Black Angus bulls with excellent calving ease. After the heifers are ultrasounded they are taken to summer pastures directly north of Torrington. Finally, the heifers are preg-checked again prior to being sold and sorted based on frame size and quality before entering the sale barn.
