Our quality begins
with our herd
At the heart of Brock Farms Angus Cattle is our carefully managed herd of registered Angus and commercial cattle. For generations, we've been dedicated to breeding cattle that excel in both the pasture and the show ring. Our commitment to superior genetics forms the foundation of our exceptional freezer beef and the high-quality heifers and steers we offer as show prospects each fall and spring.
Dual Purpose Breeding
We believe that quality traits are universal. Our breeding program strategically selects for cattle that exhibit:
Exceptional Carcass Characteristics: Focusing on traits that lead to lean, tender, and highly marbled beef – the hallmarks of our premium freezer beef program.
Sound Structure and Conformation: Prioritizing cattle with excellent physical build, movement, and overall appearance, essential for success in the show ring.
Docility and Temperament: Ensuring our cattle are easy to handle and thrive in various environments.
Growth and Performance: Selecting for efficient growth and overall performance, contributing to both robust freezer beef production and competitive show animals.
The Foundation of our herd
Our herd is built upon a strong foundation of carefully selected Angus genetics. We invest significant time and resources in researching and utilizing the industry's leading bloodlines. We leverage Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) and visual appraisal to make informed breeding decisions, constantly striving to improve the quality and consistency of our cattle. We focus on maternal traits in our cow herd to ensure longevity, fertility, and the ability to raise strong, healthy calves.
Developing show prospects
Each fall and spring, we carefully evaluate our calf crop to identify individuals with the potential to excel in local and regional cattle shows. These select heifers and steers exhibit outstanding conformation, structural correctness, and breed character. We look for animals with the presence and eye appeal to stand out in the show ring, coupled with the sound genetics to be competitive.
