Little Farm Recognized as a Historic Angus Herd 

Terry Little’s farm has been home to Angus cattle for more than 50 years

The American Angus Association® honors Terry Little with a Historic Angus Herd Award. The Association’s Historic Angus Herd Award recognizes breeders and immediate families who have been in continuous production of registered-Angus cattle for 50 years or more.

Terry Little established his Angus herd in Monticello, Missouri, in 1965 with the purchase of Princess Kinlochian B from Dorothy Bartholomew of Lewistown, Mo. That same year, he registered his first bull, Bordolier T L 59. Little chose the Angus breed for its popularity and trouble-free reputation.

Over the years, Little has had numerous production sales and he is credited with convincing several farmers to invest in the Angus breed. “Little’s herd is a solid base of the best of Montana genetics,” said Tom Burke, American Angus Hall of Fame. “He is truly a pioneer Angus breeder in the state of Missouri.”

Today, Litte still manages his herd of 150 head of cattle.
