Tell us about yourself.
"My husband, Edsel, and I have been married for 59 years. We have three children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. I spent the majority of my professional career working as a third-grade schoolteacher. The farm name of Matthews Coach’s Corral stems from Edsel’s long and successful career in athletics. He has close to four decades of experience in coaching and athletic administration. We are both retired and enjoy our time together and working on our registered cattle operation.
We operate a cattle herd that includes Simmental, SimAngus, and Red Angus. The small herd is comprised of high-performance females. At Matthews Coach’s Corral we retain a core group of genetically proven cows and use selective AI to produce quality animals for ourselves and our customers. The “must have” qualities we require our females to possess include strong EPDs, structural soundness, and excellent phenotype.
We sell most of our females and bulls via private treaty. Through the years we have developed a wonderful network of customers. In addition, we typically participate in the Missouri Simmental and Missouri Red Angus annual breed association consignment sales."
