Vision
Tehama Angus Ranch is a milestone in the cattle industry providing cattlemen with quality and performance that cannot be found elsewhere. Tehama still has the same vision today as Bill’s grandfather did back in 1911 within the dairy industry- Improving genetics through rigorous testing to enhance the productivity of their commercial customers. Tehama Angus is one of the very few operations that has developed Angus cattle for over 65 years and is still producing seedstock today.
Generations of Performance
Tehama Angus feels that seedstock producers should always have a program that sets them separately from others. Tehama is distinct because we do not purchase cows or heifers from other producers. As a matter of fact, most all of Tehama mothers date back to Kerns Blackcap 4, Bill’s first heifer. Throughout generations of improvement, Tehama has the ability to create high performance outcross genetics that cover all bases. Lastly, Tehama Angus’ main goal is to produce elite females that calve on an annual basis and have a great mothering ability to carry each calf through weaning. We feel the greatest achievement for a cow-calf producer is personal satisfaction in their own cow herd.
The Angus industry is not what it was ten years ago. It appears that many registered producers today view Angus cattle as thoroughbred horses or a poodle show. Tehama Angus does not view this business as a game to bet on. Sure we enjoy what we do and are blessed to be involved in agriculture, but always must remember that this ranch is what provides our living. Tehama Angus cannot focus on the latest trends nor the “hottest donors” in the breed. The focus of Tehama Angus is to provide the best bulls we can to commercial cattlemen.
