Valley Oaks Angus Farms

Valley Oaks Angus has been breeding Angus cattle since 1992 in Oak Grove, MO. Our goal has been focusing on functional cattle for both the registered and commercial cattle producer. We have strived to produce females with proven performance behind them by utilizing predictable sires that combine balanced EPD values with excellence phenotype.

Valley Oaks was founded by David and Sandra Ward in 1992 with the purchase of the Brady Land and Cattle herd from Knob Noster, Missouri. The Valley Oaks herd grew rapidly from 1993-95, held its first annual production sale in 1993, and the 5 following years. Valley Oaks had very notable staff through the early years with Bill Conley and Dallas Wolthemathe as Farm Managers and Jarrod Gilllig (former NJAA president) as herdsman/show cattle manager. After many successful years of production sales and show seasons through the mid 90’s and Early 2000’s, Valley Oaks decreased their herd size to a more manageable number once all of the Children were in college. Now that the children (Tony, Clayton, and Cassie and their families) have all returned to the area, the farm and family is growing and aggressively breeding Angus cattle with performance, phenotype, and the commercial breeder all in mind.

Valley Oaks has brought Kyle Lynn (formerly of 2T Cattle Company in Tennessee) on staff as the herdsman and show cattle manager. Kyle is the son of Danny Lynn currently at Black Gold Genetics in Illinois formerly of Davis on the Highlands (Kentucky) and Fox Run Farms (Missouri). Kyle has brought great knowledge about Angus genetics and herd development to Valley Oaks. Kyle is and will be a great asset to the farm and its customers for many years to come.
