Coverage by State

Georgia

Regular Travel

Strongest out-of-state presence. South Georgia has a serious registered Angus community and established commercial programs. Programs here are often batched with North Florida runs to make the route efficient.

Regular travel for established clients. Alabama programs are typically batched with Georgia runs. Strong commercial Angus and Red Angus base in the Black Belt counties.

South Carolina

Selective Travel

Lowcountry and Pee Dee regions — Colleton, Beaufort, Hampton, and surrounding counties

Selective coverage for established clients. SC programs work best when batched with Georgia runs. Reach out to discuss your program and timing.

How Out-of-State Programs Work

What to expect for travel programs

Out-of-state programs work best when they are batched. If I am driving to Colquitt County for an ET program on a Tuesday, a second program in Thomas or Mitchell County that same week makes the trip efficient for everyone. Producers in the Southeast who want consistent access to my calendar tend to cluster in the same seasonal windows, which helps both of us plan around a predictable schedule.

Travel programs require the same setup as Florida programs: a working chute, adequate handling, and a producer or crew who understands what the protocol requires of them. I bring all supplies and equipment. What I need from you is the animal handling side.

The Southeast presents different management conditions than Florida in some meaningful ways. South Georgia summer programs deal with similar heat stress dynamics as North Florida, but spring and fall windows in Georgia and Alabama are excellent — better cool-season conditions and a longer comfortable breeding window than peninsular Florida. If you are running a fall program in South Georgia, October is strong.

Red Angus and Brahman-cross programs in South Georgia and Alabama are work I take on regularly. Protocol selection follows the same principles as Angus programs — it is the management conditions going in that drive the outcome, not the breed.

"If you are in Georgia and have not been able to find consistent, reliable ET work — reach out. I cannot take every program, but I can tell you whether yours is a fit."
