Oak Row Angus Cattle

Celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary!

Our breeding program has spanned almost 50 years using the industry's most progressive genetics from around the world. 

Our cows "do it on grass."  We don't creep feed our calves and our weaning weights for our 2021 bulls are 

 bw 80 lb.  900 lbs. 205 day wt avg.  

Our Ryan is now a full time partner at Oak Row!  We are so glad he is back and helping grow our farming enterprises here.  Although he had been doing all the field work, he will now be full time with all the cattle, lumber and crops.  It will free me up for more horse time!

Disposition is an important trait that we highly select for.  Our cows and bulls have an excellent reputation for being quiet and easy to handle.

 We feel it is necessary to moderate frame (5 to 6 frame cows) to minimize impute and maintenance costs.  Keeping the grow in the calves is the hard part.  It is easy to frame them down, but hard to keep fast growing calves that will wean off at 50% or more of the dam's weight in 6 months. Our bred heifers and 2 year old's winter with the cows with only 1st cutting hay. No special pampering.  They calve and re breed with no problems and look great.

It is a combination of art and science with strict culling pressure to produce cattle that can be easy fleshing, great mothers, structurally correct, highly fertile, easy to get along with, thick and stout and pretty to look at.  Lose any one and it's a deal-breaker.
