“I searched the Brahman breed high and low for months looking for the right Brahman to build a herd with. Kallion Farms was my #1 pick for all the right reasons. Grant has done an outstanding job breeding for all the right traits that a cattleman is looking for. From docility to top notch carcass traits they have it all. Grant’s knowledge of the Brahman breed is what sets him apart and he is always willing to help. Honesty and Quality are why we will continue to do business with Grant and Kallion Farms.”

“We researched the brahman breed for several months before deciding we definitely wanted more than just a bull and a few cows. We wanted more, much more. We wanted to start out with a firm foundation and some of the best genetics available. Upon speaking with Grant, of Kallion Farms, we got just that. His knowledge about the breed and his program was amazing! Not only did we start our herd with some amazing bloodlines; they also consisted of fertility, docility, and overwhelming gentleness. Their notable framework stands on its own when looking out at them grazing. Kallion Farms went above and beyond for us to begin this journey and we are forever grateful!”

“When we decided to breed Brahman cattle in 2018, our number one goal was to produce cattle that were easy working, docile, and functional. After discovering Kallion Farms, it was a no brainer for us to use their genetics as the foundation of our herd. This year, our first registered calf crop has produced the calmest, docile, and structurally sound calves we have ever seen. Our commercial herd has benefited too. Our Kallion bull covers more cows, has increased pregnancy rates, and lowered birthweights across the entire herd. We are truly amazed at the results we are getting in such a short amount of time. In addition, Grant has been a tremendous resource sharing his knowledge whenever asked. Whatever the future holds for us, it will include Kallion Farms.”

“I buy Kallion genetics because they are real beef cattle that work. They’re like a good woman, low maintenance!”

“So impressed with the Kallion Farms experience! Their cattle are the most docile brahmans alive! A great selection of bulls to choose from! Will be a customer for years to come!”

“We have had the pleasure of dealing with Kallion Farms not only to purchase cattle , but for advice and directions on starting our own farm. We couldn’t ask for better. His cattle have and continue to be the best we have. Their demeanor is truly remarkable. Grant and his team go above and beyond in all ways. We look forward to many more years in friendship and business.”

“We have been adding Kallion Genetics into our herd since 13 years ago; back then they were the only Brahman breeders in the game breeding for traits such as IMF - marbling, beef quality, tenderness and also keeping in mind docility, fertility and productivity! That’s why we introduced those genes into our cowherd many years and generations ago. We still have a Kallion branded cow in our ranch in Panamá; who is an amazing top producer donor cow for us!!!”

“Grant has some of the best Brahman genetics in the business. His cattle are docile, deep ribbed and big boned. We couldn’t be more pleased with the Brahman cattle that we have purchased from him. Grant doesn’t just have great genetics, he is also a true pleasure to work with while choosing cattle, his honesty and integrity go a long way in our book. ”

“Grant’s cattle have super disposition and great performance. Overall, Kallion brahmans are not just really good, but top of the line cattle.”

“From our first to our most recent (and definitely not last) transaction with Grant at Kallion Farms Brahmans we have had an enjoyable experience. Not only are the cattle some of the most docile in the business but they have all the physical characteristics we’re looking for to incorporate into our own herd to further our genetic depth and production. Our bull from them is what we joke to be the largest lap dog on the planet. He’s gentle with our cows, breeding by 22 months and kid friendly. Our most recent purchase was a 5 year old, solid built cow that even with a calf at her side allowed me to work her over and milk her bag while we were in the pasture the first time I met her. If that’s not what you’re looking for in your breeding herd I don’t know what is!”

“ST has a long standing friendship and history with Kallion farms for many reasons. One reason is a shared emphasis on innovation. Kallion farms has been a pioneer in the Brahman breed, placing selection pressure on economical traits like docility, feed efficiency and marbling; traits that will make Brahman cattle more relevant in our industry, beyond the just the show ring. If you have ever visited Kallion Farms, you have come away impressed with the docility Grant breeds for- it is more nature than nurture! Resident herd sire Mr Kallion 1352 has been one of ST’s highest revenue producing bulls of all the breeds over the last several years and typifies the Kallion Farms program with his uncommon fertility, docility and carcass merit.”

“I have done business with Kallion Farms for over 20 years. I have been very satisfied with the bulls and females I used in my program. The animals were gentle and feed efficient. Grant Vassberg at Kallion is a nice young man and very easy to do business with. ”

“ Kallion cattle are gentle, Performance bred , easily kept, and the steers I have sold out of them the processor said was best beef he had processed in a long time . The steers were fed corn cleanings and rice bran for only 60 days . Their cows calved easily as well .
”

“Docility, ease of handling, and of course, breeding are the main reasons I purchased cattle from Kallion Cattle Co. I have since learned they are not only money makers and easy keepers, they are also quite fertile.
I am also satisfied with semen I have purchased from their bull herd. Their bull battery are great herd builders.
Kallion Cattle Co. is striving to improve the Brahman breed as beef producers as proven by their efforts to collect data on their slaughtered cattle. This data can be used as a culling mechanism to improve their beef production.
Cattle producers can’t go wrong by purchasing from Kallion Cattle Co.”

“Few Brahman breeders have been as dedicated in their selection of docility and carcass merit than Kallion Farms. When we were building our elite F1 heifer sexed embryos at ProGentus, their genetics were obvious to add to the equation.
”

“Town Creek Farm continues to be impressed with the genetics from Kallion Farms. During our first visit to Kallion Farms we quickly understood that Grant’s mission is much different than many Brahman seedstock producers. Grant is focused on carcass traits, cow efficiency and functional genetics that stand the test of time. Grant is always willing and accommodating to work with us no matter our situation. He understands the value of building relationships and customer service.”

“We are very happy with our Kallion heifers. Gentle and easy to work with. Maintained their condition over the winter with minimal input. Looking forward to seeing some calves!”

“Kallion Farms has been setting the bar high by producing some of the most docile, fertile cattle in the industry, while also delivering all of the qualities that you look for. Investing in Kallion genetics has been the best decision that we have made for our program, and we look forward to using their bloodline to produce excellent cattle that will be great additions to any herd.”

“I have been doing business with Kallion Farms for over a decade. They just don’t raise Brahman, they truly BREED Brahman cattle for docility, fertility, and carcass merit without sparing phenotype. ”

“I’ve been doing business with Kallion Farms for several years now. There is no one as knowledgeable and passionate about the Brahman bred as Grant at Kallion Farms. He will work with you on what it is your looking to achieve with the Brahman breed. If it’s putting together a young herd, improving your genetics, embryos, ivf flushes, semen package, or herd sire bulls, he can help. His extensive data on his cattle is second to none. I look forward to many more years of doing business with Kallion Farms.”

“Kallion Farms’ Brahman genetics consistently produce highly marbled beef that will melt in your mouth.
”

“My Kallion bulls have great disposition and throw great calves!”

“Tracy and I have been in an unique and honored position for almost the last 30 years. Byron Vassberg came to Tracy with a dream, an idea really, to build up a Brahman herd of cattle to be better than anything currently on the market. Tracy bought him that first herd. And many many recip heifers after. But I think that when I personally saw the Kallion brand refine and expand was when Grant took the reins. He culled heavily. He had a more refined vision of what a Brahman should be. Everybody knows a Brahman cow is the Queen among cows, but the steers are always the beggers in the sale ring. The work Grant has done isolating the gene that develops a thicker ribeye, loin, t-bone, has been a game changer. I think that feedlots knowing that steer has Kallion genes, will enhance the value of the steer. I work for some folks that have some Kallion cows. This year we put their Texas M3 bull
Kermit on those cows, and I have never seen a set of calves that are that impressive. The ease of birthing, the mothering by the cows, the milk production is outstanding. But the depth of these calves, heifers and bull calves, is what is to me the most astounding. They have plenty of leather to grow into, and the frame is big and solid. I couldn’t be more pleased. I am also impressed with the disposition on these cows and heifers. That is something important to me! Anything you buy from Kallion, will be money well spent. You will be happy with that purchase for years.”

“Kallion Farms has been a leader in carcass data collection from day one. They value data that can help all cattlemen.”

“I’m extremely impressed and pleased with the quality of Kallion Farms Brahmans genetics. Grant has done a phenomenal job of breeding genetics that are docile, fertile and above all have the carcass merit qualities every cow man/woman looks for in this industry. We have invested in Kallion Farms genetics because we believe in their program, and we look forward to producing some excellent cattle using their bloodlines that have the performance data and results to stand behind them.”

“Kallion Farms’ Brahman genetics consistently produce highly marbled beef that will melt in your mouth. In 2017, 24 harvested Brahman steers had carcass shear force values between 3.70 and 7.28 pounds of pressure, with an average value of 5.31. This is comparable to the very best steaks at restaurants through North America. Kallion Brahmans have been intensely selected for temperament, marbling, tenderness, and fertility for the past eleven years. The true results are in the eating experience when Kallion beef is on the menu.”

“Kallion Farms of College Station, Texas has been on the forefront of postioning themselves in the mainstream Brahman breed to be producers in the US. Byron Vassberg, had a vision to be committed and dedicated to finding animals within the Brahman breed that had the genetic potential to produce a product the industry demands. After countless embryos, a variety of matings, an extensive number of hours and excel pages, this ideal animal is a reality today. Grant Vassberg is continuing this legacy with making animals that are what the beef industry is continuing to look for, a well-adapted bos indicus animal that will produce quality beef that the consumer is wanting.”

“
Kallion Farms has been in pursuit of fertility and femininity in the Brahman Breed for many years. This is the main reason why I chose to join their team. Kallion Farms have identified certain DNA markers in the Brahman breed that have very high marbling and tenderness qualities which I feel will change the Brahman breed in the next decade.”

“At Magic Ranch, more than half of our herd is composed of Kallion-branded cows. After 3 years in the Brahman business, we are pleased with their docility, production and maternal ability. We very rarely have to assist with births, and so far, we have seen a strong demand for our calves. We are a performance-focused operation that utilizes ultrasound technology to evaluate the carcass aspects of our replacement heifers and bull prospects, and the calves out of our Kallion females have averaged over a 4 %IMF for the last 2 calf crops! Kallion Farms stands behind their product and has been great to do business with. I highly recommend their genetics and program.”

“From 2005 to 2007 we purchased several Herd Bulls from Kallion Farms based on the strength of their feed efficiency, great confirmation, and excellent pedigrees. Will are still using some of those bulls and many of their offspring in our herd today. We have never been disappointed in their fertility and offspring quality. Today we own over 600 Registered females and 50 bulls, all direct descendants of our original Kallion Herd bull battery.”

“My Mr Kallion 1352 daughters are awesome mothers that are very docile. ”
