We put together our herd from proven performance females from BCIF herds across the country in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Many of these females were from the leading cow families in their respective herds. These herds included Bellemonte Farms in Virginia, University of Tennessee research herd, Stonegate Angus in Kentucky, Wehrmann Angus in Virginia, Ken Clark’s Craigie herd in West Virginia, Wye Plantation in Maryland and several others.
