In the past 45 years, we have developed a purebred Black Angus program for commercial cattlemen. We do not chase extreme numbers; we demand functionality and structural soundness from our cattle. The steep rolling hills and rocky terrain develop solid feet and legs, and our trait selection for low birth weights and rapid growth creates a recipe for profitable and efficient cattle for your operation.
Our Herd
Our Program
We’ve taken our calves out of the feedlot folks. This is CPAR’s second year feeding calves on site. Our fall calves are born on wheat stubble and dry-land pasture grass. When winter hits, the calves receive a 2-pound/head/day ration of oats. Two months before weaning, our calves are out on dry-land pastures with their mothers. Weaned bull calves are brought in and started on free choice homegrown long hay consisting of 2/3 alfalfa and 1/3 grass and a 2 pound/ head/day corn & oat ration. This ratio is gradually increased until the calves have reached 10 pounds/head while they continue on free-choice hay. This year we’ve added a grower pellet supplement to our homegrown feed to improve body condition. We are pleased with the results and feel you will be, too.
