Who is Wright Bros Beef?
Wright Bros Beef, located in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of Bedford County, is a fifth-generation farm. Our primary goal on the farm is to breed top-quality stock and feeders. With a strong connection to Schaff Angus Valley, we aim for development, temperament, visual appeal, and solid credentials. Now, let's meet some of the individuals working behind the scenes and learn more about them!
Let's start by introducing the main man on our team, Randolph, also known as Red. As the second generation here at WBB, he was born in 1932 and has had a passion for farming since he was a young child. Although you may not find him driving tractors nowadays, he plays a crucial role in overseeing our farm operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly. None of this would be achievable without his guidance and dedication. If you spot him around, be sure to say hello!
The next individual we would like to introduce is Danny, the third generation. He is the mastermind behind the farm's operations, always strategizing about breeding, planting, harvesting, and envisioning ways to enhance and develop the farm on a larger scale. When he's not on the farm, you might spot Danny horseback riding or participating in Team Roping. In his spare time, he enjoys both recreational and competitive roping.
The second member of the third generation is Curtis, known as the family's ultimate joker. Just like Danny, farming runs deep in his veins. Although he's predominantly occupied with Bushwhackers INC, he actively participates in all farm activities, from constructing fences and tending to calves to simply sharing a laugh. Curtis is always there when you need a good laugh or a helping hand.
The 4th generation began with Kaelyn, who openly acknowledges that she didn't envision herself farming during her upbringing. However, she now embraces it wholeheartedly. Kaelyn is often involved in behind-the-scenes tasks such as registrations, herd preg-checking, and breeding. She has also taken charge of Wright Bros Fencing, constructing fences across Bedford and neighboring counties for private clients as well as USDA or NRCS offices. Sharing similarities with Curtis and possessing a similar sense of humor to him and Danny, she always strives to maintain a positive outlook on the farm by being the "Cup half Full" person.
With the arrival of the fourth generation, Jason joined the family. As the younger and more reserved of Danny's two children, Jason had always envisioned a future in farming. Since he was able to walk, he had been caring for bottle calves, nurturing his passion for farming. His interest in farming intensified as he approached the end of high school and made the decision to attend Trade School to become a Heavy Diesel Technician. His goal was to support the family in maintaining diesel equipment and to assist the community by providing service and repairs for equipment.
In 2020, the 5th generation arrived with Kaelyn welcoming her first daughter, Avery. Avery is recognized by everyone in town as the real boss and head supervisor. On the farm, her favorite activities include calling the cows, pushing cattle up the alleyway to the chute, and ensuring that Mama and Popeye tag the newborns.
Here at Wright Bros Beef, we are proud advocates of agriculture and eagerly anticipate meeting each one of you on this remarkable journey we are fortunate to experience called life.
