Monti West Black Cattle is a 3rd generation cattle and row-crop operation located in Northeast Iowa. The family farm, purchased in 1940, previously housed Western-origin feeder cattle and a progressive corn and soybean operation. The farm ground is now primarily planted corn-on-corn.
The current cow herd was established in 1988 with two show heifers, and has grown to a small but elite group of maternally bred females backed by the industry’s top genetics. We strive to raise functional females that will perform in the show ring and in production.
We appreciate your interest in our program, and hope you will contact us with questions about our genetics or sale offering. Nothing is better than talking good cattle with good people!

This week's edition of #FeedOnFriday is all about Xcel!
Xcel is a transition/grower feed that helps show pigs achieve proper bloom while maintaining the correct muscle development. Be sure not to discount its usability during other stages of the show season, either though.
If you have questions on how to incorporate Xcel into your feeding program, our team of Show Feed Specialists would be glad to help you out!
