The Best of Grass-Based Genetics
We created the Bakewell Reproductive Center to help you produce high quality, grass-finished beef. Our mission is to identify and provide the best possible grass-based genetics the world has to offer. Our journey has led us throughout North America and to the furthest reaches of New Zealand and Australia. Read about our bulls.
