and then utilized Angus bulls until his retirement in the early 1970's. The ranch was leased out
until the late 1990's when W. Wayne Henry and sons resumed ranch operations. We purchased
a set of black cows consisting of Maine-Anjou and Limousin breeds. Although, these cows
showed outstanding phenotypical traits, the Texas Panhandle environment proved costly for
us. We needed a low-maintenance cow that was adaptable to the hot summers, cold winters
and could hustle forage. After much research, we settled on the Red Angus breed and have
never regretted it. The Henry's have kept some of the easy-doing black cows, but have
adhered to a strict culling procedure. A black Maine bull was purchased and breed back to the
Simm-Angus females. Functional cattle have always been our goal. The herd is ran on native
grass year round with a closed breeding season. Some farmland is cultivated for hay and
grazing. Our belief is the cows should support the ranch, not the ranch supporting the cows.
Goats were purchased for brush control, but soon began gaining the interest of Wayne. The
goats are maintained in the Texas hill country, where the emphasis is on meat production.
Fullblood and percentage Boer nannies are bred to Registered Boer bucks. Please contact us
for your next show goat. Whether you need one or one hundred, let us supply your goat needs.
