The factor that determines the size of a cattle operation someone has is not the number of cattle they own, but the number of acres they have to run cattle on.
Instead of breeding genetics to maximize revenue on a per head basis, we breed to maximize profit on a per acre basis.
Sustainable genetics are profitable genetics.

Herd Sires
Seedstock breeders that truly breed for productivity will realize that the more maternal a female is, the more masculine her sons will be. Unsurprisingly, our herd sires come from our most fertile cow families, and produce some of the most fertile females the brahman breed has ever seen.
Internationally, entire countries are averaging 40% calf crops in their cattle operations. Many of these ranchers have struggled trying to figure out what they are doing wrong. Many of them would never have guessed, that the reason they are struggling is because of the genetics they have been importing from the United States.
We do not simply breed cattle to make a living, we breed to make a difference.
Donor Females
At Kallion, we measure fertility by live calf production, not by the number of eggs a female produces in embryo production.
The majority of our clients call us because we do not have a show string, or they entered the brahman business 4-5 years before and are concerned about their production.
We strongly urge people to not listen to who is selling their genetics to you. Instead, we suggest newer and current breeders to listen to the ranchers who would be buying genetics from you.
Performance
By no means can you use the terms performance cattle in exchange with profitable cattle.
From our experience, Registered Brahman cattle bred for profitability could not be found, they had to be created.
“Kallion Farms has been setting the bar high by producing some of the most docile, fertile cattle in the industry”
“So impressed with the Kallion Farms experience! Their cattle are the most docile brahmans alive! ”
