Cattle For Sale
Background
The Sulphur River Ranch raises commercial Brangus and Brangus Plus Angus cattle. Our "Brangus Plus" cattle have more Angus than Brangus in their breeding. We typically breed top quality registered Brangus or Angus bulls to commercial Brangus and Brangus Plus cows.
Our Brangus Plus cattle have either some or no navels, less ear, and more hair than our Brangus cattle. We have found this combination will bring a higher price at market time and we continue to improve our herd quality by selection and introduction of top quality cattle when we acquire outside breeding stock.
Some young cattle offered for sale are raised on the ranch and some are purchased from third parties or sale barns. All cattle are regularly wormed, have been vaccinated for black leg, and OCV (calf hood) as well as given the appropriate breeding and respiratory vaccines. We typically use Cattlemaster VL5 and either a 7-way or 8-way black leg.
The Sulphur River Ranch in the past was fully certified in the Texas Beef Quality Producer program as established by the Texas Cooperative Extension Service, the Texas Beef Council and Texas Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. BQA certification has not been renewed but much of the record keeping and practices as prescribed by BQA is being continued.
