Callaway
Cattle Co. is located one hour south of Atlanta near
Hogansville, GA. After a 30 year career with the UGA Extension
Service
(John) and a 30 year teaching career (Marcia) the decision
was made to relocate from Bremen to
the Callaway Family
Farm at Corinth in 2001.
Their
son, Wes Pope joined the operation in 2003. A UGA
graduate in Animal Science, Wes exhibited three state champions including the
Champion Commercial Heifer in
1990, the Grand Steer in 1991 and again in 1993.
Today Wes' son, Cal is following
in his father's footsteps by showing cattle. Recently,
they were featured in this news report on the
Macon News (Fox 24 & ABC 16) at the
2011 Georgia
State Livestock
Show - The
World Around Us: Following Family Tradition
at the Jr. Livestock Show.
Today
the cow
herd consists of 100 Angus and Angus Composites (SimAngus,
ChiAngus and Maine-Angus). The Registered Angus
cattle all trace back to the entire heifer calf crop purchased
from Mr. Edgar Rhodes of Bremen when he dispersed. Some of
the commercial cows trace back to the first cow John purchased
as a 4-H project in 1957! An intensive A.I. program has been
in place now for thirty years! No breeds or crosses are treated
differently. They all get the same nutrition.
Along
with raising cattle the Callaway family are strong supporters
of the beef industry by actively participating in the Georgia
Cattlemen’s Association and CattleWomen’s Association,
ANCW, NCBA, Georgia Club Calf Producers Association and more.
Cattle are marketed as show steers and heifers, commercial
bulls and replacement heifers.
