Welcome to
R.A. Brown Ranch. Since 1895, this progressive family ranching business has been producing some of the most superior cattle and Quarter Horses in the industry. The R.A. Brown Ranch raises and sells four breeds of cattle: Angus, Red Angus, SimAngus and Hotlander (a four breed composite developed on the ranch in the late 80’s). Extensive records are maintained on over 1000 head of seedstock cows. Since 1974 they have held their annual production sale on the 2nd Wednesday in October at the ranch in Throckmorton, TX. The ranch covers 33,000 acres in Texas and Colorado. Originally established by R.H. Brown, it is now in its 5th generation. Today the ranch is owned by R.A. “Rob” & Peggy Brown along with their children.


Mission Statement:
We are continually striving to improve the efficiency of converting God’s forage into great tasting, nutritious beef to better feed His people.

breeding the perfect bull

The article is a condensed version of a chapter in a Smithsonian book that is coming out later this year titled “The Hidden America”. The author, Jean Marie Laskas, truly wanted to capture the essence of the beef industry….the landscape, the cowboys, the lifestyle, the science and the family. She spent two different weeks with us in 2009. We hope you enjoy the article…..and hopefully it provides some great insights and press for the Beef Industry.
