Farm History
The grain and livestock farming operation of Blaine and Dwight Shoemaker was ex-panded 15 years ago with the addition of a high quality registered Angus herd which was named Angus Acres. It was the objective of the new Angus herd to produce cattle that could turn grain and roughage into high quality beef. This was done with the best available tech-nology and the selection of leading Angus A.I. sires to produce seed stock for economically high quality beef demanded by today’s consumer.
Three years ago Mike Roth joined the farming and Angus cattle operation to help achieve the production and marketing goals for Angus Acres.
Today’s cow herd is sired by many of the leading A.I. sires and have EPD’s in the top 5 to 10 percent of the Angus breed. Each year the cow herd is bred to the top A.I. sires in the Angus breed which has resulted in the cow herd pedigrees having several generations of leading sires in the Angus breed.
The offspring is not only selected for performance and growth, but also for disposition. Each year all bull and heifer claves are halter broke for easier handling during their production years.
Cattle are marketed yearly by private treaty, the Triangle Angus Bull Sale, the Midwest Connection Female Sale and the Hawkeye Angus Sales.
Visitors and inquirers concerning the cattle and Angus Acres is welcomed.
