2016 has been a great year in South Texas. We have been blessed with rain and our cattle are probably in the best shape in years. We kept 18 bulls out of our 2015 calf crop that we felt were good enough to keep and develop. Of those we sent 6 to Cain Cattle Company in Mississippi for their bull test. They will be sold in the Cain Cattle Sale to be held in Pickens, Mississippi, on October 8, 2017. We also sent 6 bulls to the Beef on Forage Bull Test in Central Texas. So far, only one bull has been eliminated from this very strict test, so we are hopeful that the other 5 will make the final cut and sell in the annual Beef on Forage Sale to be held in Brenham, Texas, on October 15, 2016. That leaves us with 6 Beefmaster bulls that are about 18-19 months old and that we have raised mostly in the South Texas brush at our ranch. The bulls were sent to the Livc Oak Performance Bull Test in June of this year and performed well. They have all been fertility tested and certified to be good breeders. We now have them back at the ranch and they are for sale. If they do not sell before January 2017, we will put them in the Live Oak Bull Sale at Three Rivers, TX. If you are looking for a good young bull, with excellent genetics, outstanding EPD’s and ultrasound data, please come by our ranch where they were raised and take a look at them. We will also be able to show you the dams of the bulls as well as our herd bulls. Please give us a call or email to send you the details about the bulls and answer any questions or to schedule a visit. Below are pictures of the bulls at the ranch:

Time surely goes by fast! 2015 has been a great year for Rancho Tres Hijos. We have had plenty of rain which has resulted in a return of our buffel grass and quail. Our cattle have had good grass for the first time in about 5 years. We have 17 registered Beefmaster heifers for sale that have been weaned and have received all of their vaccinations and shots. These heifers are 9 – 10 months old at this time (November 2015). We invite you to come look at them as well as our bulls. Shown above are pictures of a couple of our heifers.
We have now have 7 bulls for sale that have all passed their BSE test and are ready for breeding. They are about 20 months of age and include 2 bulls sired by Fabulous Las Vegas. Here are pictures of a couple of them:
