     Oleen Brothers is a commercial and registered cow/calf operation located in the heart of the Kansas Flint Hills.  Both Horned Hereford and Black Angus cattle make up the spring and fall calving herds with a majority of the registered cows calving in the fall.  We expect our cows (we call them "cows," not mama cows because we have never seen a papa cow) to do MORE than wean off a big calf and breed back every year.  Our cows must produce a calf that will perform in the feedlot, on the rail and on the dinner plate!  We expect our cows to produce good heifer calves and good bull calves.  To be a maternal breeder only - is bull____!

     Positive performance for all aspects of beef production is demanded in our cowherd.  We take birth weights, 205 day weights and weigh our calves as yearlings.  We have performance EPD's, we ultrasound our entire registered calf crop (both bulls AND heifers) and we believe in the Angus ultrasound EPD's (because all good Angus breeders ultrasound, and we wish more Hereford breeders would).

     Our firm belief in gathering performance information on all of our cattle has led us to be involved in several different venues.  We are participate in the Kansas Carcass and Performance Test, National Reference Sire Program and are founding members of U.S. Premium Beef with 200-450 cattle fed processed yearly through this program.

     Our annual production sale is the fourth Monday in March with the 2006 sale marking our 20th consecutive sale.  The sale features Horned Hereford and Black Angus bulls, Foundation Bred Quarter Horses, F1 Black Baldy Heifers with calves at side along with Angus, Hereford and Black Baldy fall bred heifers.

     One thing you can always count on from Oleen Brothers' is our strong beliefs.  Over the years, we have carefully formed opinions about the Angus and Hereford cattle we breed along with our thoughts on how our industry could serve our customers better.  We don't straddle the fence at Oleen Brothers.  You'll always know which side we stand on!  Our strong beliefs in the importance of heterosis and faith in the F1 Black Baldy along with our insistence that performance testing is an essential tool led us to join with other like minded progressive Hereford breeders to form PTP.  That acronym stands for "Progress Through Performance."  More information can be found by clicking here.
