"The Farm"
e are a small farm located in East Texas. Our cattle herd is Family owned and operated. Our herd is performance oriented, and we concentrate on efficient and productive traits valuable to both the seedstock, and the commercial cattle raiser. We are members of the American Hereford Assoc., the Texas Polled Hereford Assoc., the North East Texas Hereford Assoc., the South Texas Polled Hereford Assoc., Magnolia Hereford Assoc., and have been members of the Cross Timbers Hereford Assoc. Our kids are members of the American Hereford Assoc., have been members of the Texas Jr. Polled Hereford Assoc., and have shown our cattle. Tina is a member of the Texas Pollettes.
In the spring of 1998, we purchased a set of registered bred cows from Willis Polled Herefords in Emory, Texas, and a group of bred heifers, plus our first registered bull from Metch Polled Herefords in Canton, Texas. We also made some sales and bought direct from several other ranches within that year, and before we knew it, we were in the Purebred, Registered Polled Hereford business! We have always admired the Polled Hereford breed for their great durability and unique look, but in the short time we have been breeding Polled Herefords, we have learned to really appreciate the breed even more for their excellent dispositions, and "do-ability". We have been assissted in our endeavors by our family, friends, fellow breeders, and by the numerous local, state and national associations and organizations affilliated with the Polled Hereford breed. We Thank Y'all for your support!
Our Farm was officially established in 1992, with the purchase of a small parcel of land in Van Zandt County, Texas. Over the next several years, the farm expanded with the aquisition of several lease properties. In 1996 we purchased our first set of Registered Polled Hereford females from the late Charles Branton's herd in Canton, Texas. Up to that point, we had been running a small group of cross bred cattle, and feeder calves. Our children showed their Polled Herefords with the 4H program and within one year we were sold on the Hereford breed!
