Welcome to the Home Page for Rustic Oaks Farm - Kyle, Jodi, and Lauren McMillan - located in Ohio, Illinois. We are a 4th generation Hereford operation and over our 50+ year heritage we have focused on raising elite cattle that will compete in the show ring and excel in the pasture. As you 'surf' our site, if you have any questions - we'd love to hear from you. Visit our CONTACT tab for ways to reach us.
THANK YOU to Jennings Land & Cattle Co. of Palmyra, IL and T-Bone Ranch of Antonito, CO for purchasing our two "Penny" embryo lots at the 2012 IPHA Elite Embryo Auction. Roger Jennings bought the high selling lot - 3 frozen embryos sired by About Time. T-Bone Ranch bought the second high selling lot - 4 frozen embryos sire by Online. We greatly appreciate their interest in our program and their investment in our genetics. Both of these matings will prove to offer unlimited potential for their new owners!
Also, we would like to CONGRATULATE Jimmy Bernard and Clay Sundberg on their success at the 2012 Illinois Beef Expo. Jimmy Benard's February heifer (Thor x Vogue) was second in her class, and, Clay Sundberg's steer (Stocker x Nickie) was second in his class. Be on the look out for these two animals at other winter jackpot shows. Keep up the great work, Jimmy & Clay, the cattle are looking great!
Without a doubt, the 2011 heifer calf crop is our highest quality, deepest set of females we have ever raised. We still have a few top-tier heifers left for sale, and, we welcome partnership inquiries. Please call Kyle for more details. Thanks to Adam Swigart for taking the pictures - they have exceeded our expectations!
