Since 1895,
the Crump Ranch has been continuously engaged in raising livestock including
sheep, horses, and cattle. Since the 1940's, black Angus cattle have been
the primary breed.
All cattle are
produced in accordance with rigorous quality assurance standards including
a full vaccination program with boosters, deworming, and mineral supplement.
All cattle are individually identified and their performance record is recorded
and updated using the ranch's computer data base.

An artificial
insemination (AI) program is used on heifers and cows to assure the best
genetic qualities. Registered Angus "clean-up" bulls are then turned out
for those animals that may not get bred using the AI technique. Using good
AI genetics, the herd's weaning weights have steadily increased over 100
lbs. during the past three years. 600 pound weaner calves are normally available
for sale in November or December.
