About Us

Our ranches are all located in Northern, Utah. The summer range is about 30 minutes north of Coalville, Utah in Summit County. Our cattle will spend the growing season here (June 1- November 1). Here they will spend the summer in belly deep grass and cooler temperature where they will raise their calves. We will also be in the middle of finishing their last years calves in a separate pasture where they will be gaining a 1.5lb./day on a grass diet. We practice a strategic pasture rotation program, resting a 750-1,000 acre pasture each year. This allows for the grass to reach seed head and creates diversity in the range land as well as give the wildlife their own safe haven. We have worked hand in hand with NRCS to manage the property to its highest potential, by practicing salt block rotation, brush management, stock watering system to protect natural springs, as well as protect endangered sage grouse ecosystems.

Our winter range is primarily located in Box Elder, and Cache County. This is where we will grow our alfalfa, grass, and triticale hay for the winter months. As well as rest our winter range lands for the entire summer, so that we have an ample reserve of grass for our cows to come to. Our farms here are equipped with pivots, wheel lines, and risers to efficiently water our farm ground. Here at our winter ground, our cows will restart the cycle by having another calve in February. We will finish our steers at our Bothwell farm, where they will be supplemented a hay and grain finished diet. We've found this to be the most sustainable, efficient, and best tasting way to finish our calves.

We take great pride in the quality of our cattle, with 25+ years of enhanced genetics. We made a statement in the feedlots in the midwest, with our cattle always in the 97th percentile on performance. Which is pretty amazing for 150 calves to stick out in a feedlot with 20,000+ cattle in it.

We are currently running a half registered black angus, and a half registered black simmental herd. We do this to get this best genetics from both breeds, to make one amazing product.

This last year we purchased one of the best bulls we could find in the west. His scores on marbling, and ribeye size are next level. For those who are new, cattle are applied an EPD which stands for expected progeny differences. This system has been used for almost 4 decades, and predicts the genetic transmissibility from a parent to its offspring. This is extremely useful to make selection decisions for traits desired in the herd.

By putting quality genetics first, we are able to compete with other producers who instead rely on artificial growth hormones. There are 6 are USDA approved growth hormones used in U.S. beef production. All of such hormones are banned in other countries due to a direct link to cancer.

The last few years we have had a demand to sell replacements. Young cows (heifers), and young bulls. This is our primary goal to make our cattle good enough that they should keep on producing. The bulls that do not quite make the cut or then turned into steers through banded castration. This is cleanest least stressful form of castration. We do this to minimize aggressive cattle behavior as well make a more tender cut. They are then fed-out and what we make our Cutz products out of.
