Rooster's Beef ultimately began with our family farm -Rocky Bluff Farm - now owned by William and Becky Slaton. It is the cattle producer for our beef sold. The farm is named after two Natural Rock Formations on our property. We have several acres of pasture and including some wooded acres. With rotational grazing and intense management, we are able to have about 60 brood cows, 15 to 20 replacement heifers and our freezer beefs to be fed out. We run 4 bulls and AI our entire herd-including replacement heifers. We also rent ground to raise and put up our own hay.
William and his father JW (Rooster was his nickname), had farmed together since William was about 15 years old. Their focus was on raising Angus Cattle and their own hay. In the early 90's they raised and showed Angus Cattle locally and out of state. Over the years those animals turned in to the base of our cow/calf operation. Rooster's health declined over the years and William assumed more responsibility until he was essentially managing the farm with Rooster's vocal input only.
