How It All got Started!
Our family got our first start in the cattle industry under Coy, as a small cow-calf commercial operation. From 1990 to 2005 we operated a herd of 100 cow-calf pairs and were fairly successful. I say fairly because as most cattle producers know, your success is dependent on a number of variables from year to year. In 2005 economic prices left us with a tough decision, either increase the herd size to offset cost or get out altogether. With both our boys getting closer to high school and both being active in sports and other activities, the choice became pretty clear, Family over Farming.
It wasn’t until the spring of 2006 at our local County fair, that we were introduced to the Show cattle community. We absolutely fell in love with the competition and camaraderie of it all. 5 months later we were hitting the road to find our very first Show Steer. We had no idea the amount of amazing people and places we would see over these last 15 years. From multiple county fair champions to numerous sale placing OYE and Tulsa Sale Calves we had a ball. |
In 2013 Levi went on to be a part of the 2013-2015 livestock judging team at RCC in El Reno and met and traveled the country viewing and judging high quality livestock. Since then we have had the privilege of working with and for numerous breeders all across the state and country.
In 2021 we decided to throw our hat into the ring and put our experiences to the test. Since then, we have been assembling what we like to call our foundation female set. For us this set needed to incorporate our love for that cool look and design we all want but also needed to embody functionality. We selected cows with that specific criteria in mind, in hopes of creating the same type and kind no matter what breed of Cattle you are looking for.

Meets the Donors of Our Operation
AngusStyle Sisters- Style x Cherryknol Arkpride
Alexia, Allana, and Alley Bought them as a set of embryos and boy were we surprised when we seen what we had. They all had calves out of our herd bull who is a full brother to Dignity and were extremely happy.Their next set will be ½ blood simmentals out of New California and Bold Move due to calve in February. Bet Jasmine 301- Vegas x Sadie Kruse
Jasmine Jasmine is a young heifer we hope to add to the Donor list in a few years. She’s a heifer we raised from an embryo we bought from Rosebud Cattle a few years back. The only live calf out of the pairing but man is she something. Long expressive neck and long deep body, this one is going to be the kind to keep an eye on. BET Miss CiCi- Insight Son x Alexia Style
When we went out and bought BNWZ Insight 2368 it was strictly with the style sisters in mind. This bull did everything we wanted and more. We wanted them to stay clean fronted and good footed, he did that. We wanted to deepen them up and give them a little more grow, well he did that too. The extreme docility and added hair quality was just the cherry on top and made for the perfect show stock. This thing has all the bells and whistles and honestly we couldn’t be more elated. Still only a yearling but we look forward to where this one may take us! |

Kylie
She is a Citation cow we bought as a heifer for $7,000 from David Schrammel in his sale in 2022. We are pretty excited about how versatile she can be. Big bodied, long extended neck, and extremely thick for a purebred Hereford female. We flushed her to Montgomery this spring and got 8 embryos. We are hoping to have a nice group of those on the ground come February as well. We believe the purebred thing is just the tip of the iceberg for this cow. We hope to flush her to the clubby side of the industry next time, can you imagine her added growth and footsize coupled with the TH carrier bulls like IGWT, Red Rocky, or King of Kings. Look Out! Citation 3121- unregistered
½ sib to Kylie with the same great look just lacking the extreme stoutness and body dimension. |
ShorthornPerfection x Starburst x Jakes Proud Jazz
Ruby Our Crown Jewel of the herd! This Perfection daughter we bought for $12,000 back in 2022, is one of many great females to come out of the Eden Family cow herd. About as royally bredon paper as you can get when it comes to the shorthorn industry.I know some will argue that the bulls listed in her pedigree are more geared to the terminal side of the show ring but I would quickly discourage you from making the assumption she can’t do both. Her look suggests predictability and practicality, with her deep swaying body, phenomenal utter design, and sound structure being the main traits you gravitate too. Whether its purebred bulls and heifers or cluby crossed steers, we believe she can make them with quality and consistency. |

Cluby Influenced |
Scarlet- Redneck x MAB x Heatwave
Scarlet When we showed Scarlet alongside Ruby and Kylie in 2023. Scarlet was by far the fan favorite. We called her the freak on a leash. Probably the neatest and smoothest fronted cluby female you will ever see, especially considering she is also the biggestbodied, highest dimensioned female we have ever seen. Unfortunately, her first calf was a still born but from what we could tell, she is going to make them stout and hairy! MAB x HW
Rosey This square built and stout female will generate on her name alone, but we have some interesting ideas with this one. IGWT x American Idol x Yellow Jacket
Goldie New addition we added from the Rockin H sale back in May of 2024. The breeding and look of this heifer leaves a lotfor the imagination. Good thing we have plenty of time to narrow down her perfect sire! |
