The Little Timber Heifer Program

 Elite Genetic Sourcing

We don’t just buy heifers; we invest in genetics. Our program is built on F1 Black Baldy stock, sourced with the help of industry-leading programs like Ellingson Angus and Topp Herefords. We select for temperament, maternal instinct, and structural soundness.

Pasture-Based Development

We believe a cow’s longevity is determined by her upbringing.

• Acclimation: Heifers arrive in the fall as 600lb calves.
• The Environment: Unlike feedlot-raised heifers, ours stay out on pasture.
• The Benefit: Development on pasture ensures they stay athletic, develop strong feet and legs, and are naturally adapted to rotational grazing systems.

A "good enough" health plan doesn't cut it for us. We utilize a data-driven approach to ensure every heifer reaches her full potential:

• Custom Mineral Program: We use a mineral blend specifically formulated for our local soil and forage profiles.
• Strict Vaccination Protocol: Ensuring high-level immunity and reproductive health.
• Pre-Breeding Exams: Every female is vetted through a professional exam to ensure she is physically and reproductively fit for the breeding season.

 Selection Criteria

Out of our 500 plus heifers, only those that meet our strict benchmarks for health, weight, and reproductive readiness move forward. This rigorous culling process means that when you buy a Little Timber heifer, you are getting the "best of the best."

 By focusing on pasture-based development and strict health protocols, we produce females that don't just look good in a sale ring—they perform in the pasture and stay in your herd for the long haul 

 We take the guesswork out of heifer development so you can focus on your bottom line. Contact us today to learn more about our current groups or to schedule a visit to the farm !
