Our goal is to offer genetics that make commercial cattlemen more profitable.
We focus on breeding and developing cattle that thrive in native range environments. Our cattle are bred for multi trait balance, with maternal traits as our top priority. Each animal on our ranch is the result of a thoughtful and intentional mating decision, and has been raised, and stress tested in a real world environment.
Our calf crop is 100% artificial insemination (AI) sired. We believe in using the best genetics we can find. We spend countless hours researching sires, and then use a blend of art and science to make mating decisions. Each cow’s mating is individually considered. We do not believe in chasing fads or extremes. We are focused on balanced genetics, with maternal traits being our top priority.
We believe it is critical to our success to stress test our cattle in a real world environment that is as similar to our customers as possible. Our cows run outside all year, with the exception of the time they are at the home ranch to be AI bred. All cows and heifers calve outside without assistance.
“Bulls from South Mountain have held up very well for us in tough country. They are raised in commercial ranch conditions and developed correctly. The daughters from South Mountain bulls have become some of the most efficient cows on the ranch.”
We believe you deserve access to the very best genetics, and to cattle that have to make a living in a real world environment every day.
