more proven bulls the Angus breed has to offer he is on
the path of producing a very strong set of both registered

Draggin’ M Ranch:

Draggin’ M Ranch is excited to offer this
tremendous set of 60 Angus and Black Baldy bred heifers.
These heifers are one ranch raised, by some good friends
of ours in Northern Louisiana so they are accustomed
to the heat and humidity of the southeast. The cowherd
base traces back to the Express Ranch in Oklahoma and
have been raised with low input costs with emphasis
on fertility and production. They were all timed AI’d to
2 of the highly proven Brangus herd sires in the breed,
SF Dependence 535U24 and Newt of Brinks 302P16
on 4/10/2014, and were cleaned up with GENETRUST
calving ease Brangus bulls from 4/20/2014-7/10/2014.
These are really front pasture cattle that will start calving
around the middle of January and should prove to be a set
of cows that their new owner can build a program around.
