Boyd Beef Cattle is a family owned operation located in the rolling hills of North Central Kentucky. The Boyd family has been raising registered cattle for over 100 years. After four generations of the family being totally committed to the Hereford breed, Charlie Boyd II set out in 1992 to develop and establish the Angus herd at Boyd Beef Cattle to national prominence.
The breeding philosophy is one with principal and discipline. Chasing the latest fads have and will not be the key ingredients to the program and its customers. The philosophy to identify and develop cow families based on the economically important traits has been the standard instead of the rule.
Only the use of high accuracy proven A.I. sires has been implemented to complement these cow families. Both using the large and reliable database available from the American Angus Association and strict visual appraisal have allowed the program to have success.
Our performance bull sale is annually the first Monday in March. 60 Angus bulls and 20 Polled Hereford bulls are offered. With our commercial bull customers always in mind there are also a good percentage of bulls that sell to progressive registered operations.
Every two years the Boyd Family will host its Elite Female Sale in the fall. That offering consists of donor cows, heifer calves, bred heifers and embryo packages.
Charlie and his wife, Paula along with their two sons, Blake and Logan are very active in Angus events, both on a state and national level. At the 2005 National Junior Angus Show in Denver, Colorado, Blake exhibited the Grand Champion Bred & Owned Heifer.
Friendships and customer service are two vital areas that the Boyd family treasures deeply.
