Our heifer calf LBF Mae W14 was Reserve Champion Fullblood Summer Heifer Calf. Her sire was Double J Brick and her dam Bar J Casino Mae She was sold at the Denver sale but we have a 2010 heifer calf with the same sire and dam. We also have a large variety of top notch animals for sale with the best genetics. 

 

 
Our farm specializes in raising registered beef cattle. Our herd includes both Lowline Angus and Belted Galloway . Both breeds trace their ancestry back to the traditional Angus. All our animals are raised free range and are strictly grass fed.
 
Both breeds are somewhat smaller than modern day Angus but produce outstanding quality beef. Their smaller size makes them ideal for today's family.
 
We usually have animals of both breeds for sale.  These are either embryo or AI calves of well known Lowlines such as Nevada, Machine, Androsson Neron and Transam and Belties from Uphill Farms and Anderson Hill Farms.
 
Our Lowline breeding herd includes daughters of both Machine and Tequila. Our Belties include Anderson Hill daughters.
 
We only sell animals that we own. We do not accept deposits against unborn or future animals. We will gladly keep calves purchased by you on our farm until they have been weaned. We can provide packages of cow, calf and unrelated bull for those that may wish to get a head start on assembling their own herd. References available upon request.

 


 
Making hay while the sun shines. We raise all our own feed and feed hay and baleage during the cold weather months. Our animals are strictly grass fed.

Lake Breeze Farms is a family farm owned by Tom and Mary Begley and their children Eileen and Jim. Eileen is a college senior studying Liberal Arts and Jim is a college sophmore studying Agricultural Systems Technology. We are located at Cross Lake in Cato, New York in the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York.
 
We started our farm after Tom retired and sold his construction business. We appreciate very much the help and guidance given by our neighbors Verne and Sue Montana at Quiet Valley Farms.www.quietvalleyfarms.com. They also raise registered Lowlines.
 
We raise our cattle and hay and soybeans and corn. Although, we are not certified as organic, all of our hay and pasture operations are done organically. Our  hayfields and pastures are fertilized with organic fertilizers and manures.
 
The only medication given our cattle are those necessary to protect their health.
We do not use subtherapeutic antibiotics or growth hormones of any type.

These are our red belties. Two of our herd are Dun colored or sort of dirty blond and the rest are traditional black and white or "Oreo" cows.
