Chiangus bulls are born with vigor to thrive and a drive to breed. Through selection pressure, Willow Oak has produced bulls that are, at the same time, docile and easy to handle. We also rate our cow herd on temperament. That is the direct result of this temperament rating system. The temperament rating on the sire and dam of each bull at our sale is provided for our customer's use.
