BOX EQUAL RANCH
RAISING COWS TO BE COWS.
It's simple, but it's true.
For us, a cow's maternal ability and her consistent, functional, and efficient traits rank above all else. When you come to see our cattle you will see the following.
A FEMININE COW
We select cows that are feminine-headed, clean-necked, wedge-shaped, and structurally correct. They have a strong top line, a smooth hair coat, a good demeanor, with a moderate milk supply.
CONSISTENT GENETICS
Our cattle come from a core herd of Black Angus cattle with a Shoshone genetic heritage. They have been forced to adapt to our environment and our management style, but we know they will fit your program just as easily. We line breed consistency into our herd so if you like one of them you'll like them all.
NATURAL INTELLIGENCE
We believe in cows that know how to be cows. We want them to be able to use their natural abilities to find the feed, shelter, and resources they need without any intervention from us. We also expect them to be able to use their minds while being handled. From sorting to calving to moving pastures if a cow can't think then it makes life harder.
FEED EFFICIENCY
Feed efficiency saves labor and time which in turn saves you money. Our cattle are expected to graze, at some level, year-round, regardless of the winter. We feed supplements in one form or another, depending on the winter but our cattle are still expected to graze some, every day.
If this sounds good to you and you are ready for cattle that can save you time, save you money, and make ranching easy, take a look at the listings we have available or come and see them in person.
INTERESTED IN TAKING CATTLE IN
We are always looking for ranchers or property owners interested in hosting our cattle.
Our goal is to make ranching easy and we know sometimes that means leasing things out. So whether it be a flat lease of your property, a share lease on the cattle themselves, or simply some yearlings to help you knock down some of the overgrown grass you have we are happy to accommodate you.
We love working with landowners to find the right combination that can benefit us both. We believe in handling these transactions with a business lens and are happy to provide references. If you have any property that you would be interested in sharing with us please don't hesitate to drop us a note. We would love to see how much easier we can make ranching for you.
