Calf Purchase Program

We value and appreciate each of our customers that put their trust in our program. We have partnered with Pratt Feeders in Kansas for 10 years to feed our calves, and extend that service to you. Year after year, satisfied customers continue to take advantage of this opportunity. We will work with our customers who meet the following requirements to purchase or assist marketing their Branch View sired calves.

If you wish to feed your own calves to harvest, we would be glad to help facilitate the process for you to feed at Pratt or other recommended feedlots. We have connections to help sell your calves, steers and heifers, through other avenues. Please contact us for details.
