Welcome to Eastondale Angus
We would like to take this opportunity to give you a little background about our history and program. Angus cattle have been a part of this family for over 60 years with my father and grandfather both raising black cattle under the Kenwaw farm name. Twenty five years ago, Shelly and I started Eastondale Angus. We now run 150 purebred black cows and breed 180 head annually on a land base of 1600 acres. We have moved to less A.I. but still do some using sires who are chosen on both phenotype and must also have a well balanced set of EPD'S with higher accuracies. But we have tried to search out the best walking bulls we can, to try to get a more consistent end product that both ourselves and our customers will be happy with. We believe in a middle of the road approach we do not seek genetics of the extremes but feel if we stay down the center we and the people who might use our genetics will be better to adapt to change as it approaches us. We show cattle annually at Agribition. Our philosophy is a little different. Winning a class is great, but is not a high priority for us. We aim to have our cattle looking honest and real world in the barns and take time at shows to meet with past, present and future customers. We enjoy discussing our program, and hearing about others. Please stop by our stall and visit or if you are in our area at home please stop in for a coffee and see the whole program, we will be glad you did! We have experienced a dramatic change in our program this year but look forward to it with great anticipation. After marketing our bulls with a group for twenty plus years we will be going on our own holding our own bull sale strictly with our own bulls. Some may ask why we would leave a successful event but things do change and we see the need to better serve our customers have made us move in a different direction. The venue may have changed but we know the quality of service and the desire to produce the highest quality seedstock that will work in our environment has not changed , in fact we believe the passion may have increased. Check out our bull development and data section for more info! Everyday is OPEN HOUSE DAY here. We would love to have you visit and show you what we have to offer.Thank you for taking the time to examine our program. We appreciate it! Whether its selecting and delivering animals, or simply discussing the success of the breed in todays beef industry, we are always eager to help. We encourage you to challenge your cow herd. Make them work for you and enjoy the bright future that our beef industry has to offer. Remember that the bulls and females you purchase today will influence the success of your operation for many years to come. Eastondale has taken a lot of the guess work out of buying quality livestock, providing a great deal of performance data to go with them to the pasture. Thank you for taking the time to examine our program. We appreciate it. Dale, Shelly and Erika |
