AJC Angus

Both third-generation Angus breeders, Adam and Julie grew up in the Angus business.

With a farm purchase in Holden, Missouri, two very different types of cattle were combined in 2018. A true family process, we continue to improve our program for the fourth-generation which is anxiously waiting for the next calf crop to be born.

Our Herd is Small, but Mighty...

We know we are different and that's okay. We calve in the off season for most because it works best for our work schedules. Each cow family is assigned a color ear tag which helps our children as well as those who assist us with chores better keep track of the cattle. The largest family stems from Elba Ballot 2W26 of AJC, the daughter of a cow purchased from Sir William Angus in Crayville, NY.
Along with our parents, we are excited to be able to raise our girls with livestock production and continue to improve upon the herd for Lillie and Lydia.
