Basics of the beef business is our goal in the livestock industry. Our
program is based on our herd bulls walking the pastures. Our ultimate aim is to
produce look - a - likes that work under our conditions and environment.
Although through the
past several years we have been very successful in the show ring with our herd
sires - Continental and Lawman, our intent is not to raise cattle for the show
ring. If they win it is a bonus and in many cases, they have been shown by their
new owners. Rancher bulls that create return customers is our main aim.
Our
cow herd consisting of 175 purebred cows are run on dry land and native pasture with a ninety day breeding
period. The farm is a mixed operation with cereal grain, oilseeds and pulse
crops. We do not have time during the seeding and harvesting periods to pamper
our calves, therefore the fittest are only those that become replacements.
Sale day is every day at GHC so don’t be afraid to drop
by. To maintain cow herd strength and expand strong cow families we have chosen
to have a sale every second or third year. In this manner we can maintain our
genetic strength and yet offer some of the finest we can produce.
GHC is a family operation run as a team effort. Feel free
to call any of us or stop by. We would be proud to show you what we have
accomplished.
