Ruzicka Farm’s

Welcome to Ruzicka Farms Ltd. We are a third and fourth generation family farm. Our kids are now 17, 16, 13, 11, and 10, and 2 and they all keep us busy with sports and 4-H. We are grateful that we were chosen to be their parents and love watching them learn and grow. Our oldest, David is almost finished high school and is our right hand man when it comes to feeding and fixing. Our other kids all pitch in with chores in between the various sporting events.

We have a few different sire groups this year and we are super excited to see those bulls and females develop. We have been extremely happy with our Money and Jumangi daughter’s udder structure and maternal abilities. They have been a huge asset to our herd and we have another big group of them to breed this spring. Our purebred herd grew this past year and we ended up calving out more heifers than expected but they have done a great job.

We continue to be mixed farming operation, calving out about 125 purebred Simmental cows and 160 commercial cows. We would not be able to do it all without the help of our family. From babysitting, to feeding cows or checking pastures or running kids to hockey our parents and siblings are great supports. We also had our nephew Wyatt working along side David and they can accomplish along together from pulling bulls, moving cows and getting the crop off. This is our sixth Online Farm Gate Auction.
