Bryan Mussard and his family run 600 head of black Angus cattle and produce one of the premier Bull sales in the country. They have been involved in every sector of the cattle and beef business in a large-scale operation. They understand the margin challenges between the different segments and respect them.
For the past two years, Mr. Mussard has applied EnSoil Algae™ to native grass pasture and hay fields while conducting an ongoing animal study, demonstrating significant health benefits. He applies 1-3 applications of EnSoil Algae™ to pasture, hay, and corn and feeds approximately 7,000 cattle each winter. The results have been outstanding:
Algae-treated pasture grass remains greener longer, allowing longer grazing. He also reports significant increases in health measures, including: fewer cattle deaths during the winter, increased conception rates (7-9%), and lower intake mineral supplements. In the past, his cattle needed supplemental minerals due to nutrient deficiencies in pasture grass. In the algae-treated pasture, mineral intake in summer pasture for yearlings dropped from 19 bags (each weighing 50 lbs) to 1 bag over a 90 day period. In a fall pasture, the mineral-protein intake reduced from 9 bags per week to 1.5 bags per week.
An important feature of the Montana cattle result is that it reflects the action of just EnSoil Algae™. No other regen-ag or organic soil amendments were used to cultivate the pastures or hayfields. To feed approx. 7,000 cattle, Mr. Mussard purchases hay and feed from multiple local providers. He now requires that his suppliers grow this feed using EnSoil Algae™.

Reminisce has a very loyal customer base, and we’ve had the pleasure of witnessing this firsthand in conversations with Bryan’s clients. Their loyalty comes down to two key reasons. First, Reminisce produces superior bulls—bred for longevity and built to withstand the toughest conditions on rugged ranches. Second, their commitment to customer service sets them apart. They go beyond what their competitors are willing to risk, feeding their customers’ calves sired by their bulls and providing valuable data to help improve herd performance.
We believe our shared values are what have brought us together with Bryan and his family, creating an opportunity to support each other and our respective customers. Transparency, accountability, fairness, and successful outcomes drive everything we do. We’re deeply grateful for this partnership.
