Commercial Cows

Over the last five generations Jocko Creek Ranch has seen a lot of changes; from horses to sheep to Hereford cattle and finally the Angus cross commercial herd we are running today.

One might assume this herd would be the B team, however these cows really hold their own. Our commercials are high performance, low maintenance and well adapted to BC range conditions. Our commercial cows calve on the feed ground primarily from mid March to mid April. Calves are branded and pairs are turned out to spring pasture in late April. We turn bulls out June 6th, the majority of which are homeraised from our purebred herd. Near the end of June they are moved onto the Chuwells Mountain Crown Range. We usually don't see them until they come off range in early October. After weaning in late October the cows are moved to their fall winter pasture until we bring them home at the end of December to go on feed.
