Description
Don't be fooled by our name-- Sweetwater Plantation is not a fine show place with miles of pristine painted wooden fences, paved drives, and antebellum mansions. Sweetwater is a down and dirty hard working cattle ranch. Things are kept neat and functional but we stay away from excess for only esthetic value. We do, however, insist upon excess in the performance of our equipment, our personnel, and our cattle. We have chosen to invest primarily in the genetic quality of our cow herd and the individuals we have chosen and their progeny have to prove themselves worthy or find themselves being used as receipts, fed as steers or in the beef pen at the local stockyard.
Sweetwater Plantation is located in east central Georgia and currently encompasses a total of 1270 acres with approximately 800 acres in pasture and hayfields with the balance in managed woodlands and wetlands. Hay fields and pastures are established in Tift 44 Bermuda Grass and Coastal Bermuda Grass. When we get our average rainfall of 44.27 inches per year we are able to comfortably manage about 500 cows including the registered angus herd and commercial recipients. However, the total number of cattle at Sweetwater can be as high as 800 head at times when including bulls, steers and replacement heifers.
We started our Angus herd in 1997 and are primarily building for a program to help supply the bull market with qualify beef genetics. We are not content just to play the horse traders game and buy and resell cattle. We intend to see that every producing female in our herd is a quality animal and that any seed stock we sell in the future is the same.
