Our story starts before statehood, when the Perry family moved into southeastern Oklahoma and
started raising cattle in the Kiamichi mountains, where Alton Perry was born.

      Alton moved to Stillwater to earn a degree at Oklahoma A & M. After finishing school he moved to
Marlow to become an ag teacher and met a young school teacher named Mildred Fedler. They had a
son, Dave, and a daughter, Ann. Alton became  the County Extension Agent for Garvin County in the late
40's. In 1950, Alton and Mildred Perry purchased the first parcel of land south of Pauls Valley, that would
start what is today Perry Ranch. Over time, they continued adding to that beginning piece of land. In
1975, with the encouragement of Dave, Alton bought our first Brangus bull. After seeing the results of
that bull, they made the decision to transition the bull battery to Brangus because of the calving ease
combined with the growth.

      Dave was raised in the Pauls Valley area, showing Herefords and tending chores on the family ranch.
After high school he served in the United States Marine Corps and then returned home to go to school.
While at North Texas State University, he met Dicy Biggar. Their dates consisted of working cows and
clearing land. They found time to go a few cattle sales and became excited about Brangus. Dave and
Dicy had two sons, Frank and Ed. Dave and Dicy began adding land to the family ranch in 1980. In 1997
Dave and Dicy, with the encouragement of Frank, started the registered Brangus herd to raise their own
style of bulls. Dave currently owns and runs an oilfield supply company which builds and markets vacuum
equipment for liquid waste disposal, Ed is parts department manager, also helping with sales and
marketing. Dicy is a vice president for a major consulting firm, travelling all across the US to help build
computer systems for child welfare departments.

      Frank grew up working weekends on the family ranch. Once the work was done, he enjoyed hunting
with his dad and brother and fishing with his granddad. After high school he followed in his father's
footsteps, serving in the Marine Corps as an airborne radio operator/loadmaster on KC 130's. Frank
then went to Oklahoma State University to get a degree in ranch management. While finishing school, he
started into the registered Brangus business with his parents. After school, he moved to the family ranch
to build their business full time. One night, he met Michelle at the local pizza place. (They still argue
about at which table.) They have three children, Marin, Ruger and Geneva. Frank has served eight
years on the Oklahoma Brangus Association board, including two years as president. He also served six
years on the International Brangus Breeders Association board, including two years as the chairman of
the Commercial Marketing Committee. He currently serves on the Garvin County Soil Conservation board
and is a past president of the Garvin County Cattlemen's Association. Michelle has built her own ag
business, Perry Ultrasound, where she scans cattle for carcass traits.

 The Kids  
     Marin turned twelve this fall and has become quite the vampire expert (ask her how many times she
has read the Twilight series). She is gearing up for the spring show season with 3 does, 2 steers and 3
heifers. She was a huge help with the 2009 sale.
     Ruger is our seven year old who seems to have been around forever. He'll explain to you that his
pup, Spotty, is called a Catahoula because he purrs like a cat (our thanks to Marty Moore for a fantastic
dog). Ruger is an accomplished Lego builder and continues with his obsession of Star Wars.  
     Geneva turns five this January and is our pink princess. She has followed in her brothers footsteps
with her love of Star Wars. Here we are in the new year and she still wears her Captain Rex halloween
costume most days.
     All three kids are looking forward to soccer season this spring!
