Burns Farms historically ran all sales by private treaty. In 2009, we held our first annual bull sale and in 2011 began our
female production sales. Extensive individual records have always been kept for the cow herd, both registered and
commercial, with rigid culling for predictable performance. There is focus on use of genetic and estimated progeny difference
information, phenotypic evaluation, and optimal nutrition to promote growth and development of high quality bulls and cows.
We are proud to offer ready-to-work Hereford bulls, as well as excellent females, both Hereford and black baldies. Thank you
