| 4-P — 4-P Farms |
Rod Pelton grew
up as a farm boy in Eastern Colorado, and always thought that
was
what he
wanted
to do. However, after
marrying the neighbor girl (Kit’s sister) and becoming
familiar with the Pharo cattle operation, he realized that
he really enjoys the benefits of spending time with the cattle.
Rod was blessed with circumstances a couple of years ago that
allowed him to quit farming and go into raising cattle full
time, as well as work alongside Tyson in the PCC operation.
Along with our daughters, Jamie and Abby, we are extremely
passionate about our small herd of registered Angus cows. We
have always agreed with Pharo Cattle Company’s philosophies
and are excited about being cooperative producers. We specialize
in easy fleshing, moderate sized cattle that know how to work
for a living. I (Kathy) also enjoy doing much of the office
work at Pharo Cattle Company. Rod and Kathy Pelton, phone 719-767-5451.

| BCA—Beaver
Creek Angus |
Beaver Creek Ranch
is owned and operated by the Erickson family, Colby and Amy,
and our three
daughters
Rilee, Katie,
and Kolbie. We are located in west central Wyoming, at the
foot of the Wind River Mountains. We raise both registered
and commercial Black Angus and a few Tarentaise cattle.
We began raising Black Angus cattle in 1991.
Our goal has always been to produce a low maintenance cow with little input.
Our cows
are
selected
for
moderate
size, fleshing ability, maternal traits, and disposition. With our harsh environment,
our cattle have to perform under extreme conditions. This is bred into the
cows and their offspring. Our cattle are expected to perform, and there are
no second chances in our program.
We have always felt that our philosophies match
those of Pharo Cattle Company. We are excited to be cooperative producers, and
to
be
part of
the team.
Feel
free to call or stop by and see us anytime. Colby and Amy Erickson, 307-332-8289.

Mattson |
The easy fleshing,
high volume, maternally efficient Angus cow that thrives on
grass is the
focus of my
breeding
program.
Exceptional udder quality and a quiet disposition are key points
in the selection process. My goal is to raise bulls that sire
this type of female by default. I live at Manhattan, Kansas,
and appreciate the opportunity to be associated with Pharo
Cattle Co. Clyde Mattson, phone 785-587-8890 or 785-632-0763.

| CTM — McDaniel Farms |
The McDaniel spread
is located on the northwest Kansas prairie, 17 miles northeast
of Goodland. I am the sixth generation to make a living off
of our land.Our operationof farming grass andhay; and aherd
of registeredCattle.
I have been raising Red Angus
cattle since 1997. After meeting the likes of Kit Pharo, I
have focused my efforts toward raising the right kind —
self-sufficient, moderately framed and easy fleshing cows
that produce the same in their calves. Raising cattle that
require few inputs and calves with lower birth weights is
far more enjoyable (and logical) than spending heartache,
hours and money accommodating the cows. It is a pleasure to
be working in the environment of Pharo Cattle Co. and all
of the other like-minded cooperative producers that we appreciate
so much. Cody and Tancy McDaniel, phone 785-694-2910. |
