Raising Great Beef
First Generation Ranchers
Whatever your business, relationships are everything. We were blessed to get our start in Red Angus learning from well-respected ranchers whose wisdom we’ll always be grateful for. In the years since, it’s the people we’ve met along the way, equally as much as the work we love to do, that have confirmed ranching was right for our family. Relationships all the way around matter – those you are learning from & those you are teaching, those you are working for & those who work for you. Customers are really partners in the success of your operation – always treat them that way.
We think the practical principles of the ranching business apply to every area of life. Be good stewards of all that you’ve been given. Always put others ahead of yourself. Be enthusiastic about what you’re doing. Be open to learning new things and also ready to teach others. Be willing to change. Balance your contentment with a healthy desire for improvement. Pray your way through everything and then trust God to direct your path.

THEY SAY
Since the day the Hickle family showed up on the yard of Feddes Red Angus to buy their first Red Angus females in 2005, we have become not only business partners but also great friends. Keith and Brook have continued to grow their herd by purchasing and breeding top of the line genetics. As cooperators in the sale, they always bring some of the very top end bulls.
The passion [the Hickles] have for not only Red Angus but ranching in general is second to none. You would be hard pressed to find anyone that works harder to promote not only Red Angus but the ranching lifestyle in general. Inevitably any conversation with Keith will at some point be put on hold with the question, “What bulls are you going to use?”. We feel honored and privileged to call the entire Hickle family partners, friends and family!
I purchased my first Rocking Bar H bull in 2015. The level of service I received has been first class and has led me to do repeat business with Rocking Bar H. Keith, Brook and family are great advocates for the Red Angus breed as well as agriculture in general.
We would like to thank Rocking Bar H for investing heavily in the Feddes/C-T programs! Keith and Brook have concentrated on putting together a very functional and maternal Red Angus cowherd. They should be proud not only of their impressive cowherd, but also the great ranching family they have raised.
