About Us
Danny has been on a farm (whether his Grandfather’s or his father’s farms) almost all his life. He is a 5th generation Cattle farmers in the family. For many years, Danny’s grandfather raised Hereford Cattle. His father raised Angus, Charolais, and Saler.
Danny is a graduate of Murray State University. He worked in his father’s construction company for 14 years. He worked several years doing contract computer programming and maintenance before becoming a licensed Real Estate Agent in 1993. He has owned his own real estate company since 1997.
In 2009, Danny purchased 55 Acres of his father’s farm. Soon, the discussion began to center around what type of cattle we should raise. Danny’s son, Matt, began looking into many different breeds and found the Lowline Angus very interesting. In 2012, they began to looking for American Aberdeen Angus. We were fortunate that we found some in Western Kentucky about an hour and a half from home. After learning about the attributes of the American Aberdeen Angus cattle, we decided they were right for us.
Danny grew up on Grass-Fed Beef as was very interested in the opportunity provided with healthier Grass-Fed Beef. He was very interested in raising cattle that were not only healthier for the family but more manageable for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We are very happy with our Lowline Angus. We have started small, but are excited about the future of American Aberdeen Angus on our farm. We were happy with our first calving season with our full-blood bull, Mighty Moo.
UPDATE: Since we were struck by the massive Tornado on December 10, 2021, things have changed drastically. We lost almost all of our perimeter fencing and most of the cross fencing. We are not sure what the future might hold at this time.
