McBee Cattle

Ron and Teri McBee own and operate 2100 acres of fescue pasture and have been in some form of the beef production business since 1974. Around 1990 we were looking for a breed of cattle that would increase milk production in our cows. We found it in Braunvieh and began breeding 200 commercial cows to Braunvieh bulls and also purchased a group of 1/2... blood bred females. After one calf crop we were very aware of the maternal attributes of the Braunvieh female. We were able to work out a partnership arrangement with Ron Franken of Linn, Mo., who had purchased Braunvieh genetics in the early 1980's. By developing and marketing Franken Farm's calves in partnership after weaning, we were able to increase our numbers of top quality, good birth weight, high performing fullblood Braunvieh genetics. After being pleasantly surprised that this new breed had alot more going for them than merely maternal traits, we became a seedstock producer again and the rest can be documented.
