Richard has worked with livestock and machinery in a farm environment in a part time capacity since age 6, he is now 32 years old. Eric has worked in the same capacity also since age 6, and currently works part time at a local cattle farm and is now age 26. Both boys were raised on a small farm with multiple types of livestock and machinery, and assisted another local dairy farmer in Northern NY for many years before relocating back to the Central New York area in 1991.

The initial size of the heard will be 400 Angus cows and 5 Brahma Bulls.

! 400 new cows will be purchased and bred in August of 2010
! The initial 100 cows who bore calves will be cared for until they are ready for sale along with the 100 Brangus to be sold in August of 2011
! As of 2011 there will be 600 cows in the heard
! The same protocal will be followed until the heard reaches a total size of 1000 to be rotated out each August and will eventually consist of nothing but Brangus beef
