Pitts Angus Farms is a seedstock operation located just outside the town of Hermitage in the Missouri Ozarks near the Pomme De Terre Lake and River. The cow herd currently consists of Angus, Sim Angus, and Hereford genetics with approximately sixty percent calving in the fall and the remainder in early spring. A portion of the bulls are retained to develop and sell privately to cattleman in the surrounding areas. We also develop replacement heifers for retention and to market as bred Heifers. Bulls and females have been marketed through on farm production sales in the past and we look forward to having these yearly sales again in the future. Most of the winter feed and forage is grown here on the ranch. Double crop wheat and corn make up the haylage and silage with the remainder in cool season grass production for dry hay.

This is a great opportunity for an individual with a passion for agriculture to gain experience and knowledge while working on a family owned and operated ranch.
