LIVESTOCK :
We run a small cattle operation in
addition to our regular jobs. We usually keep about 20
head of commercial and registered Angus cows running on lease
pasture in McClain County, Oklahoma. These cows are bred to
a Meyer 734 bull to produce good black baldy calves. We like
to do things the old ways. We still check our fences and
our cattle horseback whenever we can.
It’s not the number of cows or acres that make you
a cowboy or makes your place a ranch, but the attitude
in which you handle those resources that God has provided.
We still like to drag our calves |
|
 |
to the fire to brand and doctor in the early spring. We
don’t have hundreds of calves like the bigger ranches
but still have plenty of good friends who like to get
together for an afternoon of fun. We try to do as much
as we can horseback and in the old way. It’s makes
good horses, gentle cattle, good dogs, good kids, and
good memories not necessarily in that order!

I also help my father take
care of a small set of good cows (registered Angus, commercial
Angus, and Maine-Angus cross) that he runs on a combination
of 100 acres of owned and leased land around Noble, OK.
He breeds this excellent set of females to a son of Meyers
734. He usually has some Meyer 734 influenced heifers
and commercial bull prospects available for sale. If you
don’t see them listed on this website, feel free
to call and inquire about what is currently available.

My
favorite quote about the cowboy lifestyle is:
“As long as there is one cowboy taking care of one cow…it’s
not gone!”
Tom Selleck in Monte Walsh
