These breeding specialist are ready to start on any high quality showing ranch, beef herd, or homestead improvement program. Symbiosis Sir Levi, Symbiosis Sir Barnabas, and Symbiosis Sir Tuffer respectively. All three have a great temperament and were haltered broke and handled for the first 9 months. Their bodies are quickly catching up to their mature large head and masculine horns.
Next up we have Symbiosis Sir Enoch a rare opportunity to get some well respected genetics uniquely created and then brought to life hear on our organic ranch. Twinflower Florence, who we dearly loved and Angus the 8th of Dunvegan. Florence is well respected in the AHCA community. She was long, deep, and confident! Her excellent confirmation gave her a long life with several great calves. Although Enoch is another embryo calf he was raised here where his mother enjoyed the spacious pastures and garden snacks. He was halter broke for his first 9 months. He is a easy going and quiet. Currently 2 years old and growing steadily. All of our animals are extremely clean and health. We rotationally graze and use natural fly control methods. They are not exposed to outside herds. We have had no disease concerns since we began in 2010!
