Since 1933.
FOCUSED GENETICS.
FUTURISTIC APPROACH.
LEGACY. IT'S WHERE STORIES LIVE ON.
At Clearwater Farm, we’re doing just that — living out the Angus legacy our forefathers brought to life in 1933. As 2023 marked our 90th anniversary, we’re truly humbled at the opportunity we have to carry on this family business of raising quality registered Angus seedstock. Steadily and selectively seeking out the best AI sires in the breed, we strive for consistent quality in the bulls and females we produce. With a close watch on eye appeal and performance, our goal is for you, our customers, to be profitable with the genetics we offer whether in the pasture or on the plate. In the heart of southwest Missouri, we’re located just outside Springfield and invite you to stop in and see our program first-hand.

The Pipkin family farm legacy is rooted in tradition with the original land purchased in 1856 an integral part of today's operation. Berkshire hogs and Hampshire sheep were the heart of the operation until 1933 when the family purchased the farm's first Angus cattle from Johnson Workman of Kansas. W.H. and Morris Pipkin continued to run the multi-faceted operation until Morris' son, W.D., joined the family business. Ever mindful of advancements in genetics and technology, W.D., and eventually his son, Jim, became early adopters of Angus Herd Improvement Records, artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Those same principles ring true today. With W.D.'s passing in 2023, Jim continues the farm legacy alongside his wife, Joann, two children, Jera and Jace, mother, Bonita, and nephew, Kyle Tate. We are proud to say 7 generations of the Pipkin family have worked on the same farm, 5 of them raising Angus cattle.
