Welcome to Sicklebar Cattle Company!
We raise grass fed, hormone free cattle.  We sell live cattle or cut and wrapped.  
Below is more detail about our operation.  Call or email us for more details.

Our herd consists of mostly Black Angus and Black Baldys.  We have some excellent mother cows that are young and hardy and are bred to quality Black Angus and Hereford bulls.  We are introducing  genetics with high feed efficiency and good milk production EPDs.   Our cattle are hormone free and are on grass and hay year around.  

Our cattle are turned out on dry land Spring feed early April and then moved to our irrigated ground the end of June.  They stay on irrigated ground until late September and then return to dry land Fall feed until the snow flies in late November, early December.  They are then gathered and confined to 40 acres of sage ground just below our cow camp where they are fed through the winter months and are calved out there.  The cows calve in early February and are with their calves until weaning time which is late Fall.  

Irrigated Ground:

Our home ranch consists of 127 acres of irrigated ground, working corrals, barns, bunkhouse and our home.  The pastures are pie shaped and feed into a center corral system which allows for easy, low stress handling.  We are set up for intensive grazing and so we can manage and maximize our grass.  

Cow camp is located at the edge our 1,700 acre desert lease.  It is where we calve out and do our Spring and AI work.  It has a large corral system with several pens and a hydraulic chute, an automatic water system, a calving barn, vet room and a bunkhouse where we stay during calving season.  The corrals are well lit for night-time checking and are built on a slight slope allowing for excellent winter runoff.  

We lease approx. 1,700 acres of desert ground that  is only 3.5 miles from our home ranch.  It has excellent Spring & Fall feed and has 3 large, well water fed ponds.  The land is cross fenced which allows us to control the grazing. The cattle are turned out in early April and do very well on this dry land feed.  They return here for Fall cleanup, winter feeding and calving.

We have an excellent source for processing our beef.  Our extended family owns and operates Del Monte Meats here in S.E. Idaho.  So we know that our beef is cut and wrapped properly and the whole process is very low stress on the animal.  They are not hauled to a kill plant or kept in a feed lot or processing plant.  It is very controlled environment from start to finish with cleanliness and sanitation as a key factor.

We will have beef available this coming
