The Fawcett family is part of Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch - which raises primarily Hereford cattle with a smaller herd of Angus. Every February they have a Bull sale where they sell 100 Bulls, Registered Females, and Commercial F1 Females. Fawcett’s also sell Hereford show heifer prospects in their sale every October. Through their Production Sale they strive to produce Bulls that will work not just in the Purebred sector but for the Commercial Cattlemen as well. They focus on the right kind that will add pay weight for the Commercial Cattlemen while maintaining maternal traits at a high level. Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch has raised numerous National Champions within the Hereford breed and have gotten a taste of the backdrop within the Angus breed. The Fawcett kids show Herefords but have been putting their main focus on Females of other breeds so that they can push hard and hold nothing back without having to worry about competing against our customers within the Hereford breed. The show side of Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch has a strong focus on giving their Junior customers the opportunity to experience something bigger than just their local shows. “I really strive to give these kids the opportunity to show on a bigger stage, have the chance to meet new friends and reconnect with friends they have met showing cattle.” Daniel says. “At the National Western, not including our crew, there were 30-35 juniors including their family members found at our stalls on show day working as a TEAM.” ●
