ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

Unretouched Range Photography by Watt M. Casey, Jr.

Since 1948 our cattle have been bred for the Six Essentials as defined by Watt's brother-in-law, Tom Lasater, who founded the Beefmaster breed. We believe Tom Lasater was correct when he selected the Six Essentials: Disposition, Fertility, Weight, Conformation, Hardiness and Milk Production.

The 2005 heifer crop was ultrasounded on November 3, 2006.  If you are interested in IMF, the group averaged 3.84. The heifers achieve this on grass.

Casey Beefmaster cattle are in an environment much like that of area cattle. They basically live off the range with some supplemental feed as required by conditions and need.

Since 1977 the breeding season for all females ages 14 months and older has been approximately 30 days. Those that do not conceive during this breeding season are later exposed to our top herd sires for approximately 45 days and offered for sale when safe in calf. Usually a very high percentage (in the upper 90s) conceive during the combined breeding seasons.

Casey Beefmasters are gentle and tractable. They are selected for disposition genetically, and trained and handled in a manner to enhance their naturally good dispositions.
