July 2015 � ANGUSJournal � 25 May-Way Farms Inc., Baldwin City, Kan. Just a few short miles down the road from Mill Brae, the tour setting will change from rolling hills to an urban landscape at May-Way Farms Inc. Owner Jason Flory and his family manage cattle from a 10-acre fescue pasture to 1,000 wide-open acres in the Flint Hills. "A lot of the breeders on display at the May-Way stop will be more of the fescue, cool-season-grass cattle managers," Flory says. "Participants will see a large contrast of management with a short amount of miles on the tour." Flory and his family have been involved in the Angus business for 15 years, getting their start in showing cattle. "I think any time fellow cattlemen can network and learn, it's a great opportunity," Flory says. Chair Rock, Greeley, Kan. Exclusively an artifi cial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) program in cooperation with Gardiner Angus Ranch of Ashland, Kan., Chair Rock has a unique facility that caters to the growing operation. With handling facilities designed with guidance from renowned animal behaviorist and Colorado State University Professor Temple Grandin, Chair Rock is able to move animals through their facility quietly and effi ciently with minimal stress.
