Angus

With ten bulls in major AI studs (Blue Moon, At Ease, Load Up, Leverage, Summit, Payload, Fed Ex, Exceed, Satisfaction & All Around) and some of the most sought after donor females in the industry, our Angus herd has come to the forefront of the breed in the past decade. We attribute this to disciplined breeding strategies of using proven AI sires generation after generation along with sampling the best young bulls we can use natural service. We generally use these young bulls for only one or two seasons and then sell them in our sale. We select for calving ease with high growth in a moderately framed package, plus strong carcass traits, superior reproductive efficiency and adaptability to hot and harsh climates.

Our base cowherd originally came from Ocala, FL in 1988, where they had been adapting and producing for many years in that hot & humid environment. We have continued to breed these cattle to the top, proven AI sires that fit our customer’s needs and climates. We expanded our herd again in 1997 through a partnership with the Gardiner Angus Ranch family. This developing cowherd originated with embryos from some of the Gardiner’s top donor females.

You will also find us utilizing an extensive embryo transfer program. Gary Mathiews, along with Dr. Mike Mimms, have certainly turned the crank on mass multiplying our top young females with their excellent ET work.

These Angus bulls are as good as you’ll find anywhere in the country....genetically superior, performance tested and yet developed in a way that you’ll reap the benefits of a bull designed to cover the countryside without falling apart. We plan to continue our disciplined approach of producing the best Angus genetics, designed to improve profits for you, our customers. All Angus bulls purchased from R.A. Brown Ranch are transferred into the name of our customer, making the calves out of these sires eligible for the Angus Source program.
