Bred to Perform

SUNRISE SUNSET FARM

           Sunrise Sunset Farm is located in Howard County, Maryland, equal distance between Baltimore, MD and Washington, D.C.

           Established in 1997 as a Registered Angus operation, our family has pursued the goal of breeding quality Angus cattle that will perform in the show ring, breeding operation or feedlot.

           Although the showring is a great marketing tool for young stock, it is the long term usefulness of the cattle that we produce that is the most important part of our program. We strive to breed the type of cattle that will continue on to  make a positive contribution to our customers herds. We realize the percentage of an animals life that will be spent being exhibited is small compared to the number of years that it will be required to be a working, beef-producing bull or cow.

           Bull evaluation tests keep us informed on the actual performance of our cattle in a competitive feed test.  Our bulls have consistently placed in the top of the  Maryland Bull Test program conducted at the WYE Research & Education Center.

           Herd health is extremely important and every cow, calf and bull on our farm is vaccinated and wormed to insure that it will be healthy, productive and can be purchased with confidence.

           All of our calves are halter broken and are known for their even temperament and the ease of handling that this trait provides. 

           Through the careful selection of foundation females, that are bred to top AI sires, we have established a small herd of high quality cattle that we offer for sale through private treaty and Angus auctions
