Breeding Philosophy

Who works for whom? The philosophy of the Bradley 3 Ranch is that our cattle work for us, rather than us working for them. And, they must be efficient. We believe our cows should make a living on grass, calve at two years of age, and wean at least 50% of her weight the day the calf is weaned. While nursing her calf, our females are expected to breed back while on pasture. We do not creep feed. The heifers are to breed at 14 months of age, no exception and continue to calve every 365 days to stay in the herd. Our genetics have proven to work in a variety of climates and production systems. And, we've never wavered in our belief that balanced traits are necessary for continuous profitability.
