Based outside of Corvallis, Oregon, our farm is focused on raising the highest quality show steers and heifers for 4-H, FFA, and jackpot exhibitors. We mostly use a purebred cow-base, crossed with some of the winningest show and club calf sires to ever stand in front of a backdrop. Understanding the genetics and how these outcrosses work is why Colson Cattle remain sound, functional, and productive. Our primary breeds are Black Angus, Charolais, Maine-Anjou, and Simmental.
for us, it's not just about sale day. It’s about training and encouraging, supporting, and mentoring. It’s about building a relationship with the people who buy our cattle.
Our goal isn’t only to raise high quality cattle for the showring. We want to invest in the future of agriculture by providing opportunities for youth to be involved in ag in a way they might not otherwise. Our cattle are available for sale or for lease. We want everyone to have the opportunity to show. We are with our buyers every step of the way, as much as they want us to be.
The Colson family not only breeds exceptional cattle but they educate, support, discipline, love, and help develop strong confident showman. We knew nothing about show cattle and these people took us under their wing and helped walk my son to success, still to this day they are two of his biggest fans. They invest their time, money, and every resource available to them to help your children reach the level of success that they are willing to work hard for. To say that we are beyond grateful for the Colson family doesn’t even begin to express how we feel for them! My son is one lucky kid to be a Colson kid."

The cattle speak for themselves. Quality is evident by looking at them. Ours have been more than as advertised, easy to work and solid. The nutrition coaching and unwavering support are worth their weight in gold. Colson Cattle has helped my child’s dream become a reality."
