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.

480 HEREFORD COWS
These cows are not purebred Herefords
THEY'RE BETTER!
They are about 7/8 Hereford 1/8 Brahman. They look like Herefords but quite a bit bigger and infinitely more heat tolerant.
They originated from the McCan herd near Woodsboro, Texas and are referred to locally as “Victoria Brafords”. These cattle have been ruthlessly culled for 28 years for fertility. It is a closed herd and any cow that did not breed in their 75-day season was shipped to slaughter. You are literally buying cows whose ancestors ALL calved within a 75 day season on a 72,000 acre South Texas ranch. This is fertility at it’s best!! Crossed with Brahman bulls, you will get some of the most beautiful F-1’s possible as evidenced by the accompanying photos.
2006 Calf Crop Sold as Bred Heifers Christmas Weekend
The only difference between them and the “real thing” is they have a little bit of a “bee-sting” which gives them a touch more Brahman blood. The other difference is they are a little more heat tolerant and should be as fertile as their mothers.
There is an even distribution of age on these cows. 100 heifers were bought from the McCan herd every year starting in 1999. One of the great characteristics of these cows is their hardiness and easy-fleshing. These cows have been on dormant McMullen County brush country with little or no supplement. We are in a tremendous drought in this country and they are still doing great. I don't know how you would get them in any better shape! You won't have to pamper these gals; they know how to make a living.
The 200 pictured here just got moved on December 29th from the brush country to a dormant Tifton field on the Sabinal Ranch. They are due to go on an irrigated circle around the 10th of January. This movement was done ONLY to utilize the oats. They were doing great where they were!
A buyer could turn out his Brahman bulls in about 45 days and get right back into the F-1 production program if he so desired. We just happen to have about 26 registered, RESTED, Hudgins-bred, Grey Brahman bulls that can be leased or purchased for the purpose if needed.
This is NOT to minimize the value of the Camp Cooley-sired Brangus cross calves coming in the next 90-120 days on these excellent Hereford cows. We have fed many of these steers and heifers over the years and they top the market and are in the top 10% in terms of yield and grade every year. Our feedlot tells us they are as near a "perfect" feedlot calf as there is. Just the right amount of heat tolerance and just the right amount of English blood. This gives you the flexibility to "go anywhere" with them. The black hide is also a plus from the feeder standpoint. And you also get great Brangus and Brangus baldy replacement heifers out of them as evidenced by the "20" and "50" shown at the top of the offering."

Two loads, approximately 90 head of 3-5 year old Horned Hereford cows bred to Hudgins Brahman Bulls.
Guaranteed to qualify with ABBA to get certified F-1 certificates on the heifer offspring.
One-iron cattle raised in West Texas that have been together on the same ranch all their lives.
Horned genetics. Most have been dehorned with the exception of 15-20 of the three year olds.
Will start calving in January and continue through March.
These cows are the big, flat-boned cattle typical of this part of the West. They are bred to the right kind of bulls to get some dynamite heifer calves.
We would love to contract the heifers and the steers back next Fall.
These mamas know how to make a living. They have never been pampered in any way and were raised on native arid Texas range land with no visible supplement. Weight is easily 1025-1125 with a few heavier.
The Hudgins Brahman bulls are available also and are in great shape. Disposition is great.
The calves handle good horseback and, of course, come to cubes.
Scheduled to be moved to South Texas the week of November 24-26th.

118 True F-1 heifers from the Thomas Brahman herd near Sinton and Nursery, Texas.
The mamas are good grey Brahman commercial and registered cows and the sires are the very best registered Hereford bulls money can buy. They utilize the best in Hereford genetics including Dudley Brothers, Moscatelli, and Schmidt Brothers in Hondo. It really shows in the quality and size of these excellent "baby doll" heifers. The last bunch we received weighed 613 "on the truck" after standing in the pen on dry hay for 4 days and then being sorted and loaded. That means their pasture weight was 650 lbs! Not bad for being weaned off a brush pasture with no creep in a drought in South Texas.
These heifers are very gentle and have been calfhood vaccinated. We have already handled them horseback a few times and they drive real easy at a walk. They are bunk-broke and will come at a run to feed. As soon as the chance of rain fades we will schedule them to be cosmetically dehorned. The color pattern is excellent; mostly tigerstripes with a few chocolates and just a handful of red motley-faced.
Located near Beeville, Texas.

As of November 1, the cattle will be offered for sale as follows: Approximately 55 bred to have all Brangus replacement heifer calves and approximately 45 to have all black Brangus bull calves. 65 Brangus heifers bred less than 2 months or exposed 45 days to registered Brangus bulls. Fresh bulls are being rotated every month for maximum breeding efficiency. All these heifers have been hand-picked for quality and disposition. All are 1-iron, calf hood vaccinated, and gentle horseback or to cubes. You will love these cattle!

10 Purebred Polled Hereford cows, 6-9 years old.
Eight have F-1 Braford calves at side, including 6 heifers. Two of the pairs with the bigger calves are already bred back. All the calves are fully worked, including knife-cutting the steers. The two dry cows are bred to calve in the Spring.
The calves are sired by the tremendous registered Brahman bull pictured. The are also bred back or exposed to him. He is a Remington grandson purchased in 2004 from V8 Ranch for $10,000 by Valley Ranch for use on registered cows. Isn't he gorgeous!
Valley Ranch can't use him as much as they would like because they have too many of his offspring. Accordingly, he is in use on these Hereford cows at the moment.
We acquired these cows last month and are permitted the service of the bull for a few weeks to get them all bred back. 80% of the purebred Brahman herds in the nation don't have a herd bull this good!
This is how you raise those $1,200 certified F-1 show winners! You can't believe how cheap these cows are priced!
Located near Beeville, Texas.

Nine young crossbred cows. Six (6) are pairs and three (3) are pregnant. All are young and have four big calves at side by a tremendous registered Brahman Bull. Of the 6 pair, 2 are three-in-ones (already bred back) and the balance are exposed to an Angus bull. The bred cows are bred to a Brahman bull. The calves at side are fully worked. The steers are knife-cut. All the babies are synovex C'ed and 8-way'ed. You'll notice that some of the baby calves appear to be purebred Brahmans. They are, in fact, embryo calves out of some of the top V-8 genetics in the Brahman breed. We did not castrate them. We are working on getting their registration certificates, but we're not making any promises. If we are successful in getting these certificates, we might be interested in buying them back. That doesn't change the quality of the calves. You might get a Brahman herd bull on the cheap!

55 Angus-plus heifers selling pregnant to calve from December 10 - January 10. These extremely fertile heifers were raised by the Texas Department of Corrections and are all wearing their "star" brand.
Their dams are some of the best Brangus cows the prison system has. They are absolutely ruthless in their culling of ANY cow that doesn't meet their strict calving season. That has paid off as evidenced by the tight calving in these productive females.
Their sires are "Dream Catcher" registered bulls, without question some of the best in the Angus Breed. Not only are these heifers packed with powerful genetics, they are ALL calving within 30 days to low-birthweight Pennington Angus bulls (pictured). Their birthweight EPD's are perfect for heifers.
Study the extraordinary length the Dream Catcher bulls have added to these heifers. It almost looks like an optical illusion.
One even load, so hauling is as economical as possible. All calving within 30 days of each other! This is invaluable, not only from a fertility standpoint, but also logistically speaking. It is a tremendous advantage to work your calves at the same time, wean at the same time, and also sell at the same time. Perfect to wean your calves and/orsell them in the summer, giving your heifers plenty of time to mend for the winter. They are also breeding back and raising their calves during the best time of the year. "These cattle are tailor-made!"
Extremely gentle, jet black, all one-iron.
These cattle are located on Lake Corpus Christi near Mathis in South Texas and will be offered as pairs. They should be through calving about January 15th and will be ready for delivery by late January.
We would also consider turning out bulls of your choice and delivering them March 1st when the Spring grass is here!
Let us feed them for you!

106 Excellent Seedstock quality Brangus heifers to calve January, February, and March to "New Design" low-birthweight registered Angus bulls.
