Thank you for taking a moment to review what Atkisson Angus genetics can offer to advance your herd. We are a family operation in Northwest Kansas raising registered and commercial angus cattle, as well as a diversified crop farm. While the family has been raising
Angus cattle since the early 1960’s (including seedstock at that time), a renewed focus on producing seedstock was brought back in the mid 2000’s. The registered female herd was then built slowly and deliberately through very selective purchases and through the use of Embyro
Transfer (ET). The genetic base of the herd has been centered around cattle purchased from our good friends and mentors, John and Bonnie Slocombe of BJ Angus in Manhattan, KS.

 

     Producing sound, functional, and fertile cattle is the goal of this operation. An emphasis in the breeding program is to build calves that are born without assistance, gain rapidly, and mature early. The cow herd to produce these calves must also be moderate, easy fleshing, and breed back quickly with no special treatment. Our registered cows are run right alongside our commercial cattle: on grass 365 days a year, no silage, and minimal hay and supplement.
