Tom and Carolyn Perrier of Eureka, Kansas have dedicated their lives to raising high-quality Angus cattle and high-quality kids and grandkids at Dalebanks Angus. Tom grew up on a farm in Kansas and met Carolyn at Kansas State University. They were early adopters of performance testing programs and have earned the MaternalPlus status for their herd since the program’s inception. Maintaining long-term relationships with repeat customers is also a point of pride. 

Tom says his primary focus has always been on the commercial cattleman. From the beginning, their breeding philosophy has incorporated data as a critical tool for making informed selection decisions, and Tom says the goal is balanced, functional cattle that work well for all segments of the beef industry.  

Tom served two terms on the American Angus Association Board of Directors from 1989-1995 and in other industry leadership roles. Known for their strong work ethic and community involvement, Tom and Carolyn exemplify the values of ranching families.
