Farm Family Friday: Fifth-Generation Kansas Ranch Continues Angus Legacy

The Perrier family says maintaining herd quality has helped keep the operation strong.

EUREKA, Kan. (RFD News) — Successfully passing down a cattle operation from one generation to the next takes a focus on quality and keeping the herd strong for the future.

Dalebanks Angus is a historic family-owned operation dating back to 1904. The fifth-generation Perrier family says the ranch is built around producing quality cattle that help commercial producers improve herd performance and efficiency.

Today, Dalebanks Angus manages nearly 500 registered Angus females.

Lyle Perrier says the hard work that comes with ranching is worth it in the end.

“Growing up on a ranch is taught me that hard work pays off and it’s not going to be easy but if you can get to the end goal, it’s worth it.”

The family says ranching is about more than just raising cattle, it’s a way of life built around hard work and commitment.
