Annual Performance Angus and Hereford Bull Sale Saturday, March 12, 2022 Mays Lick, Kentucky View Sale Book View Sale Videos View Hereford Sale Videos

Boyd Beef Cattle is a family owned operation located in the rolling hills of North Central Kentucky. The Boyd family has been raising registered cattle for over 100 years. After four generations of the family being totally committed to the Hereford breed, Charlie Boyd II set out in 1992 to develop and establish the Angus herd at Boyd Beef Cattle to national prominence.

The breeding philosophy is one with principal and discipline. Chasing the latest fads have and will not be the key ingredients to the program and its customers. The philosophy to identify and develop cow families based on the economically important traits has been the standard instead of the rule.

Only the use of high accuracy proven A.I. sires has been implemented to complement these cow families. Both using the large and reliable database available from the American Angus Association & American Hereford Association, as well as strict visual appraisal have allowed the program to have success.

Our performance bull sale is the second Saturday in March, every year; We sell 125 bulls annually via the sale and also private treaty. With our commercial bull customers always in mind, there are also a good percentage of bulls that sell to progressive registered operations.

Charlie II, his wife Paula, along with their two sons, Blake and Logan, are very active in Angus events, both on a state and national level. At the 2005 National Junior Angus Show in Denver, Colorado, Blake exhibited the Grand Champion Bred & Owned Heifer.
