At Freeman Beef Genetics, our family has always had one constant in western Oklahoma agriculture and that is the production of beef cattle. We raise what we think are the most efficient and highest quality red and black angus cattle we can produce. We focus on several traits that we believe are integral in success and profitability of a beef cattle herd.  

Number one is disposition, if an animal within our herd has a bad disposition they are culled. Cattle with bad attitudes are a safety hazard for ourselves, our employees, and our customers. Number two is reproductive efficiency. We strive to have cows that will settle to either AI or natural service within their first 2 estrus cycles that breeding is attempted. Third we focus on soundness of our cattle. We believe foot structure and flexibility is key. Fourth we love phenotype. EPDs are good tools, but only as good as the data returned to the breed association, and we still have to look at the cattle in the pasture.We believe that phenotype trumps EPD in most instances, and true cattlemen still will find those cattle that are calm, efficient, and structurally sound.
