Our
Philosophy
At
Callaway Cattle Company we strive to produce structurally
sound, high quality, functional cattle with eye appeal.
Our
selection criteria include: fertility, correct feet and legs,
sound udders, body capacity, performance, fleshing ability,
temperament and a moderate frame size. We
are interested in balanced E.P.D.’s. not “est’s.” We
don’t want the longest, tallest, biggest, shortest,
thickest or anything else that ends in “est” to
describe our cattle. We select and breed for optimums; not
extremes. We
believe that a sound, preventative herd health program will
result in a strong healthy immune system. We guarantee the
cattle when they leave our place and we stand behind them. We
produce commercial bulls, replacement females, show steers
and show heifers. We also produce horse quality Bermuda grass
hay for the local market. Our
cow herd consists of Angus and Angus composites (Sim Angus,
Chiangus, Chimaine & Maine Angus). We AI everything for
30 days and then turn out the bulls. We start calving September
1st . 90% of our calves will be born in September and October. While
most of our cattle are sold as breeding or show animals,
we are ever mindful that the consumer expects a good eating
experience when he orders beef from the menu or prepares
it at home for the family. It must be tender, flavorful,
healthy, safe and nutritious. Let
us never loose sight of the fact that we as cattle producers
are in the beef business.
