We are divesting ourselves of the
cattle operation at Rancho Santiago. We have run a cow calf operation on
our Adcock and other leases for 15 years. We bred Gyr & Zebu Brahman
cows to Saler and Limousine bulls. Always our first love has been the
mules and horses. Letting go of the leases and cattle now allow us to
focus our attention at the ranch to full time fine mule production and Percheron
team activities.

Catching wild cows is arguably more
dangerous, fun, and exciting than the rodeo. We have no time clock and
have to be our own clowns. Dr. Jim, quarter horse Redman, and
tranquilizer dart gun, or could it be Barbarosa south of the border in
that Willie Nelson movie?

Wild cow catching business. We mean
wild cows with an attitude.

Catching stray and wild cattle has
developed as an interesting side line for the ranch team. We are for
hire to catch those uncatchable cattle. We have a tranquilizer dart gun,
loading equipment, catch trailer, and experienced ranch horses. Contact
us for more information.

Maria got a baby Brahman calf for
Christmas. She named her Becca and she grew into a good producer.

From time to time we hire day work
cowboys to help with the round up. Randy & Arthur are proof that
Texas mamma's still raise young men with great southern manners.

The down horn long horn cow is an
odd rarity. 100 years ago this would be the boss cow that would lead the
trail drive. In Mexico they are known as chongos (monkeys). A cow with
this type of horn set can horn another cow high or low before they can
escape her vicinity, therefore they become the boss cow.
