SHOW CATTLE OPERATION LOCATED IN WESTERN, NC
THE MALIBLUE FARMS GOAL
Maliblue Farms was founded with the goal of offering high quality livestock while enriching the customer experience. We started our operation in 2020 and have since committed to investing in top-of-the-line genetics in breeds like, Simmental, Shorthorns, Maine-Anjou, Black Angus, Highpark, Hereford, and Scottish Highland. No matter the breed or stage of our customer relationship, our goal is to provide our customers with excellence. In addition to our show cattle, we also take great pride in our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and Mini Horses.
Maliblue Farms got its start from our daughter, Rylea's, passion for showing cattle when she was just in the 7th grade. Keep reading to hear from Rylea herself!
"My dream to raise show cattle became a reality when my parents purchased my first show calf. Her name was Maliblue."
I began showing for my high school in the 7th grade. After the first few shows, I realized I had fallen in love with working cattle. I wanted to pursue my dream of raising show cattle. My dream became a reality when my parents purchased my first show calf in 2019. Her name was Maliblue. I instantly fell in love and decided to name my family's farm after her. Throughout the 2019 show season, our herd began to grow as we collected some of the best genetics in the industry across the country. Unfortunately, Maliblue didn't get to attend the state fair that year after a long battle with pneumonia and we made the decision to slick shear her to break her fever. Since we couldn't show a hairless heifer we competed with another shorthorn of ours. We were still very blessed and were able to win the 2020 Grand Champion Shorthorn Female. This was my first banner, and it further solidified my passion for showing. Since then, I have won many banners. In 2022 I won Supreme Champion Female at the NC State Fair. We hope that we are able to share some of our genetics with you, and we hope you find success as well!
