WHO WE ARE ...
We are Les and Connie Mechem,
owners of LCM Farm. We are
located along the Front
Range of the Rocky Mountains
just 30 miles from the historic
town of Estes Park, CO.
We purchased our first recipient
Angus cow with a heifer embryo
calf in 1999. This calf has been
the foundation of the herd. We
have traveled to Australia and
have purchased new lineage to
develop a better and stronger
outcross to go with the American
blood lines.
Les has worked and showed a
variety of cattle breeds for
many years in the Mid West. He
enjoys working with the Lowlines
for their docile temperament and
birthing ease. Working with
chosen genetics has resulted in
a high ranking for tenderness
and marbling of the meat.
We have enjoyed this business as
it is a way our family can work
and have fun together. Our
granddaughter, Bailey Skinner, is
primarily doing the showing of
our animals and has been top
showman in several national
shows.
Connie has served as the
Mountain States Lowline
Association secretary for the
past year and a half. |
