Frank was born and raised on a farm in the Mississippi Delta. He grew up working with Angus cattle and participating in 4H from a very early age. He is a 3rd generation Angus cattleman who comes from a long line of passionate cattlemen with both grandfathers and his Father being avid Angus breeders. After earning a degree from Mississippi State University, he moved to Chicago where he began a successful eighteen-year trading career at the Chicago Board of Trade.

Frank started Brumfield Angus Farms in 2008 with the purchase of four registered heifers. The BAF herd is a registered and commercial operation with locations in Three Oaks, MI and Wilsall, MT. The herd is now over 1,300 animals, and the BAF team remains both passionate and aggressive in their pursuit of raising the best genetics in the U.S.
