PRIVATE TREATY
All of the cattle listed are cake-broke and easy to handle, NO EXCEPTIONS. We pride ourselves on our ability to handle ALL of our cattle with a minimum of labor and stress. All of our cattle are penned horseback at a walk slow and easy ----usually with just two hands. We routinely feed cake to rotate pastures and monitor health.
These cattle are located in various locations in South Texas and are generally centered in the Beeville-George West area. All calves of age are "worked" ---8-way, Synovex C, and steers are knife cut. We also scoop the horns and eartag them - no earmarks.
We own 100% of all the cattle listed with the exception of about 10% that we currently own no less than one-half interest in. This amount will increase over time to as much as 15-20% as we stock some of our "Pasture Partner" ranches in the upcoming months. These relationships are discussed in detail in our "About Us" section. Occasionally, we will list some "Customer Cattle" we are brokering for a fee to some of our valued associates.
Our Registered Brahman cattle have tied up so much country that we have been exploring other opportunities to turn out cattle. The recent droughts in South and Central Texas have also added to our desire to place cattle in other areas, both to rest our pastures and to take advantage of replacement cattle we can acquire for re-sale that wouldn't be available under normal circumstances. Accordingly, we have recently expanded our business to include other areas of the state where we custom pasture cattle. We have been pasturing cattle with Leonard Cattle Company near Laneville in Northeast Texas since the summer of 2008. Leonard Singletary and Billy King have worlds of country tied up near Laneville and they handle cattle exactly like we do. They are also extremely professional in the way they take care of our customers as well as our cattle. We plan on keeping available country stocked up there as long as it continues to be mutually beneficial and even enlarging our position in the area as opportunities arise.
108 Good Grey Brahman cows with a beautiful set of grey Brahman calves at side. This is a young group with 10% Three and Four year olds, 40% Five year olds, 30% 6 year olds, 24 Seven year olds and only 3 Eight year olds. Dr. Jake David aged every single one of them for us. All are dehorned and snow white. All recently wormed with Cydectin and given their 8-way booster. We handpicked every one for sound bags, legs, and feet. There will be about 25 True F-1 Braford or True F-1 Brangus calves on these cows. They are excellent and all the rest will be beautiful Grey Brahman babies. The calves are fully worked to include, knife castration, Cynovex-C, 8-way, wormed with Cydectin, horn-scooped, and eartagged (no earmarks). The disposition is excellent on these cows. They can be penned with a feed sack and also handle good horseback. Lot's of these cows originated from the well known Linkenhoger herd in deep South Texas. We have exposed these cows back to a good set of Virgin Registered Brahman bulls we raised out of our Registered herd. Lots of these are Karu and 189 grandsons. All Hudgins and V8 breeding. They fertility tested at 18 months of age and were handpicked out of 115 of their siblings. They were the only bulls we kept out of our entire 2008 calf crop. Around the 15th of July, we intend to strutt these cows (pull the calves off 48 hours), double the bulls on them, and increase the protein supplement. This will tighten the calf crop and insure that we will have a large part of these cows bred back so they will have Spring calves next year. The grey Brahman replacement heifers at side are gorgeous. The Spring calves out of our Bulls should be even better. The only way we will sell these cows is if we get first right of refusal on the heifers at weaning if they are sold. Located on the LaSalle Ranch near Port O'Conner, Texas.

114 True F-1 Braford open heifers - These heifers were handpicked from local breeders. Lots of these heifers will weigh 700 lbs. and the rest are not far behind. Here is a breakdown on their origin: 54 of these heifers originated from Panther Hollow Ranch near Dilley, Texas. This Ranch topped our Nixon Sale in September by buying the top selling Brahman pairs and bred heifers. They buy nothing but the best and the quality of these heifers show it. They have paid up to $5,000 for Hereford Bulls at Dudley Brothers to get the very top bulls. 14 were raised by Sidney Smith of George West, Texas. The Smiths are long time Hereford breeders and their F-1's are out of Hereford cows and sired by Hudgins and Gill Ranch Brahman Bulls. 20 of the heifers were raised by Cabeza Cattle Company from Nordheim, Texas. They have a large herd of Brahman cows and mate them to the very best Hereford bulls available. The balance of these heifers were acquired a few at a time from Middleton Ranch out of Registered Hereford cows and Hudgins Bulls and from Stewart Morris from Wharton out of Registered Brahman cows and Registered Hereford Bulls. Only True F-1 heifers are in this group. All cosmetically dehorned, calfhood vaccinated, and worked with cutting horses till they were dog gentle. We feel lucky to have acquired these heifers. Great color pattern with lots of tigerstripes and a few chocolates. "Hard-to-find" cattle, perfect to breed this Spring. Located in a lush four thousand acre pasture on our Family Ranch, "The Kenney", south of Charlotte, Texas. Seven "44 Ranch" virgin, low birthweight Angus Bulls were turned out on them April 1 and they are cycling like crazy. Should get a wonderful conception!

97 Big Black heifers bred to calve January, February and March to good Camp Cooley Angus bulls handpicked for calving ease. All these excellent heifers are jet black and actually are Angus/Santa Gertrudis cross originating from the renowned Nunley Ranch near Sabinal, Texas. They are out of Nunley Ranch Purebred Santa Gertrudis cows and a stout set of Gardiner Angus bulls. All the cattle have been pelvic measured and examined for any breeding abnormalities. They are also calfhood vaccinated AND blood tested. They have had a complete health work-up and are sound in every way. Weighing 1,000 lbs. and showing lots of quality and thickness. These cattle must be extraordinarily fertile. They bred in the heat of the Summer during one of the most severe droughts South Texas has ever experienced! The disposition is above reproach. They are almost TOO gentle! Is there such a thing? They have to be pushed out of the way horseback and will call to cake. They have been put to the test in terms of hardiness, fertility, and heat acclimation. One raising, one iron cattle coming from one of the historic original Big Ranches left in South Texas. The calves have been pulled off these cattle July 15th. We hauled the calves home and they were the talk of the town when they hit the Live Oak Livestock Auction in Three Rivers, Texas. They really rang a bell! We have not pregnancy tested the cattle yet but expect a good conception. They will be bred with their second babies to excellent Tommy Reeh Registered Brangus bulls and should start calving after the 1st of the year. Coming three year olds in the prime of their lives. Their steer babies will top any market and their replacement heifer calves should be out of this world! Located at Laneville, Texas, Northeast of Nacogdoches.

58 Good South Texas Crossbred cows with a beautiful set of Charolais babies at side. These cows are mostly 5, 6, and 7 yr olds. There will be 10-15 short solid mouth and even a handful of broke-mouth cows. As you can see, these big cows have a lot of calves left in them and most are not showing their age at all and could easily be mistaken for a set of young cows. Great fertility on them; they all got bred in the middle of last year's horrendous drought. These mamas can take care of themselves and can really "do the cooking". Dr. Jake David aged every one of them for us. The cattle have been fluked, lepto vibrio'd, wormed, and have also been on a good mineral and cake supplement program since January. All these calves were born April, May, and June and the cows are exposed back to a good set of Charolais bulls. These cows will weigh a good 1150-1250 lbs. and should wean some of the best calves of their lives this Fall. They will absolutely run to the cake wagon and also handle good horseback. Calves fully worked. Too cheap at $1050!

40 Three year old pairs with big fully worked Spring calves on them. These are "South Texas Crossbreds" that were purchased back in the drought during the Summer of '09. All have at least 50% Brahman blood in them for Gulf Coast adaptability and are dehorned. At the time they were located near Blanconia, Texas, very thin and had their first calves at side. We didn't know it, but over half of them were already bred back with their second calves! Unfortunately, we didn't know what kind of bulls they were bred back to, but we can't complain about the fertility. The last twenty or so should be sired by our "Mountain Meadow" Angus Bulls, which are the bulls back on the cows. Extremely gentle horseback and will come to cubes. No brands.
Located on the Sarco Ranch, 3 miles north of Blanconia, Texas.
31 Fall calving Three year old mates to the above cattle. Exact same management, description and origin, but all will be bred to our "Mountain Meadow" Angus bulls.
Located on the Valley Ranch near Beeville, Texas.
20 First and Second calf Brangus pairs and heavy breds. 14 are 2nd calf mates to the 44 Crossbreds listed above. Eight (8) are 1st calf pairs from another group. All are exposed back to Hereford bulls. 11 of the calves will be shipped Monday, August 9th. They just got too big and good and the market was too high to pass up. The ones with the younger calves were "strutted" the same weekend and the bulls wee doubled, so most should get bred back in August if they were still open. The cattle are still offered as a group of 20. Of course, the 11 dry cattle will be adjusted back to reflect the value of the calves shipped.
Located on the Welder Ranch, 5 miles east of Beeville on Hwy 202.
