The hallmark of the Laue Ranch cowherd
is the development of solid, productive female families. Toward that
end, we place great emphasis on mothering ability and milk production.
In many cases, when we look at one of our cows – be it a Linda, a Wanda,
a Brand, or another one of our families – we are viewing her with a
perspective that goes back ten generations. This cowherd has never been
disrupted by any sort of dispersal or auction – we view it as a factory
that is designed to turn out a quality product for our customers. We
have selected a few examples to feature here.
