ROONEY ANGUS x GREEN MOUNTAIN ANGUS 

Green Mountain Angus was started in the early 70’s by Gale Todd, Tim’s father. The original herd was established by the purchases of 2 groups of cows: one group from the Sir William’s herd out of New York State and the other from a Canadian base herd. The original location of the ranch was in the Black Hills of South Dakota near Spearfish just under the base of Green Mountain thus the name. The Todd’s held their first production Bull Sale in 1973. The early sales were all held at the Sturgis Livestock Exchange in Sturgis, South Dakota. The family out grew their South Dakota ranch and moved to Montana in 1981.

For over 40 years Green Mountain Angus Ranch has been committed to providing superior seed stock for the commercial producer. Our philosophy of low birth weight with high growth produces the type of cattle that are born small, get up, and get a shot of colostrum to accelerate a strong immune system and stay healthy in the early stages of life. Although our breeding program considers every trait from frame size to milk and carcass traits, the basis of our program is the low birth and high growth calf. Healthy calves take less maintenance. We want that calf to have the genetics to maximize his potential for whatever his environment gives him. We have been breeding cattle this way for twenty years. We are 4 to 5 generations into this and that is why we get the consistency we get and why these cattle breed true. We are committed to our customers. It’s the input we receive from them that directs our breeding program.
