2025 Stillwater farms News & Events

We are thrilled to invite you to the first annual Top of the Mountain Elite Sale, taking place on April 26, 2025, at our farm just outside Searcy, AR. This event will showcase some of the finest Fullblood, Purebred, and Percentage Braunvieh, Angus, and Simmental cattle, brought to you by a select group of breeders. This sale would not have been possible without the vision from Eddie Zeigenbein (Stillwater Farms) and many others. While Chris and Jalyn had long discussed hosting a sale of their own, it was the encouragement of friends and fellow breeders that pushed to make this dream a reality. Jay H Farms, LLC, founded in 2004 by Chris and Nesha Smith, began as a small commercial cattle operation. However, when our daughter Jalyn discovered her passion for cattle, the farm took a new direction. To support her growing interest, the farm invested in registered Braunvieh females, allowing Jalyn to develop her own breeding program. Her enthusiasm only grew when she was introduced to AI and embryo transfer technology, which elevated Jay H Farm’s genetics and expanded its focus beyond Braunvieh to include other high-quality breeds. We take great pride in producing cattle known for their strong genetics, health, and performance. We are proud to work alongside other exceptional breeders to bring you an outstanding selection of cattle at this sale. Whether you’re looking to diversify your herd, enhance genetics, or improve overall herd quality, this event is the perfect opportunity to acquire some of the best cattle available. We invite you to join us for this special occasion. 

If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to contact us (501) 454-3775 or email nesha.smith@ymail.com. Stay up to date via Facebook: Top of the Mountain Elite Sale or visit our website at https://www.jhfarmsbraunvieh.com We look forward to seeing you on April 26th! 

Sincerely, Jay H Farms, LLC
