Our little cattle adventure started in 2000, 

with a trip to the New York State Fair.

We were looking to find some Polled Herefords

that our son, Andrew, could grow up

and work with in the coming years.

Being that Andrew was around three at the time

and on my heels everywhere and anywhere,

when it came to cows, we knew that a breeds temper

was first and foremost.

So that in mind ruled out a very popular black breed.

Anyways, not having any luck gaining the attention

of any of the Polled Hereford Breeders

on a non show day, left us pretty discouraged.

After going home for a few days and wondering

what to do, we decided to give it another shot

on the third rotation of the fair, which was Labor Day weekend.

Also was a show day for the Santa Gertrudis Breeders.

Having raised dairy heifers and 

being around cows all my life,

I’ll never forget walking into the beef 

barn and seeing those

BIG,RED,FLOPPY EAR,LOOSE SKIN THINGS

and wondering what a

SANTA GERTRUDIS was.

We just stood there 

looking at these cows in awe.

Then the breeders came, not one, but all the breeders.

Andrew was walking one on a halter at three years old

and that heifer just towered over him,

You should have seen my wife’s eyes bug out.

A year of digging for a negative on the breed,

provided nothing but positives.

In 2001, we bought out the herd of

Jerry and Marge Bobier (Bobiers Farm)

Chenango Forks, New York (Herd#4631)

With their herd sire: Bud, a huge Ward Cattle Farm bull weighting over

3000lbs and his Great grand sire being NC 80-81 Mountain Man 810.

We added some Dist.6 cattle that year

along with the heifer Andrew was walking around….

and here we are today.

MCMomentum is the Herd Sire now

along with some great bloodlines

we have added over the years.

The future is ours, no regrets and

looking to add more

SANTA GERTRUDIS

to our family.
