Rehm Angus was founded in 1994 as a family farm in West Central Arkansas. The farm is located on 134 acres of land that joins the Mount Magazine National Forest on the south and is bordered by Big Shoal Creek on the north.
The original herd of cattle consisted of fourteen commercial bred heifers and four registered cows. Since that time we have grown to about 35 head of registered females. We still keep a few commercial cows to produce steers for beef and the kids have some that help with college expenses.
Our bulls and heifers are culled at weaning by using performance data, eye appeal and temperament. The ones that we consider worthy are fed a growth ration that we have mixed especially for this purpose. We try to get as much growth as possible without adding too much fat. When the animals reach yearlings we again evaluate and cull. Any bulls that do not pass soundness or fertility exams are either sold for beef or sent to the stock-yards and culled heifers are sent to the stockyard. We do not sell cattle to individuals that we would not use in our own herd!
Our goal is to produce a uniform herd of moderate-sized animals that are fertile, productive and easily handled. Many of our cattle will stand to be scratched in the fields and all will follow the rattle of a bucket or paper sack.
