temperatures in excess of 100 degrees. It can be a harsh environment,
but that is the very reason I feel confident our cattle will work for whoever
owns them because they have already passed the test at Miller Brangus.
Our breeding philosophy is “Pounds on the Ground”. That means we
want to put as much weight on a calf as fast and efficiently possible without
sacrificing other traits such as calving ease and mature cow size. We
have an intensive objective measurement program that includes strong
records, strict culling standards and carcass measurement identification
using ultrasound technology. Our cow herd has a 60 day calving season
for mature cows and 75 days for virgin heifers. The herd is culled
religiously for fertility, disposition, utter quality, structure soundness, and
calf raising ability.
Females must perform and maintain a strict set of criteria and minimum
standards to remain in our herd. Herd sires we have built our foundation
on are power oriented, pounds on the ground herd bulls. These bulls have
included Jethro, Abrams, Chisum, New Direction, John Wayne, Quiet Man,
Tank, 16P3, Crusader, Cahill, Revelation, Straight Line, Nimitz, Lead Gun,
Dead On, Super Tanker, and MC Patton. While continuing to use Jethro,
Crusader, Cahill and Revelation strategically, we are focused on our next
generation of heavyweights, Jethro sons Yellowstone and Yosemite, on
Great Basin, our ‘Nuff Said son, our Revelation son, Justified and our
Crusader son, Raylon.
You can probably tell we are proud of our cattle, but don’t take our word
for it. We invite you to join us October 26th for our bull and female
sale. Stop in for a visit, share a meal with us, and evaluate the cattle
yourself. We know you will not be disappointed and hope you will come
to appreciate the cattle as we do.
We have semen available on most of our bulls. Do not hesitate to contact
us if we can be of any assistance. We want your visit to Miller Brangus to
be a good experience.
