This post is part of an ongoing sponsored campaign by Certified Angus Beef® brand in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.
The Certified Angus Beef® brand, created in 1978 by a group of family Angus ranchers, remains dedicated to bringing the best Angus beef to the table.
Barns often are viewed as a sumbol that unites the passion and pride of farming and ranching families from generation to generation.
Each barn has a unique story behind it. Certified Angus Beef® brand wants to share those stories with you.
Today I went to visit Ulrich Farms.
Chris and Jill Ulrich are raising the third generation of their family on the farm, purchased in 1952 by Chris’ parents Pat and Charlie. The farm started as a Holstein dairy and made the switch to Angus beef cattle in 1997.
Like many cattle farmers, their herd is small, with about 30 to 40 cow-calf pairs at a time.
“We’re proud of our barn- it was built around 1870 and is a landmark in the area,” said Chris Ulrich.
Both Chris and Jill are teachers in the local area and invited their students to come see the branding of their barn.
In fact, the entire community turned out to celebrate and watch the painting.
Troy Freeman is the painter behind these incredible 12 ft bu 16 ft logo reproductions. He amazingly takes roller to canvas and and creates the famous logo in a matter of hours.
A delicious lunch was served by Station House. There was Certified Angus Beef® brand BBQ of course.
