OurProgram

Balance, Balance, Balance!

Our breeding program is set up to provide a profit to commercial producers through our bulls

genetics. Our goal is to provide bulls that sire the kind of replacement females that excel in our

environment. We strive to provide a balance of calving ease, fertility, maternal traits and

carcass

traits. We have an extensive artificial insemination(AI) program, "herd sire quality"

clean up bulls and

an aggressive culling regime.

Perry Ranch
The Program

Our cow management program

is where it all starts. We

believe

the Brangus cow is the best suited cow for our

environment. With

that said, selection pressures still have to

be in place to insure that

we don't go backwards with our

genetics. We do our best to run our

registered cows as we

and our customers run commercial cows. We

don't believe in

creep feeders because our commercial customers

don't use

them. It also allows us to evaluate the true

calf raising

ability

of our cows. By design, we continually reduce the

amount of

winter feed and hay that we provide our cows. This

allows us to

identify and cull the cows with the largest intake

requirements and

the lowest fertility (these are often related).

Open cows go to town.

Bad uddered cows go to town. Bad

footed cows go to town. Bad

tempered cows go to town... you

get the idea.

Our bull development program

is designed

to allow superior bulls to come to the top of

their contemporary group in a

way that

maintains the soundness of the bulls for long

term service. We hand feed the bulls through

a 110 day bull test,

keeping the bulls on a

custom by-product ration

Hand feeding reduces

temperament problems and allows us to check

overall health more consistently. The bulls are

handled on foot, on four-

wheelers, horseback

and with the feed pickup. We

try to expose the

bulls to anything that they might see in the

future. The

bulls are kept in large traps

throughout the test to

insure proper exercise

and access to grass during the growing

seasons.

The bulls are in turn out condition at

sale time. If

you take care of them, they will

take care of you.

In the spring of 2010,

PR Double Time 55/9

became only the second

bull in

Oklahoma to become a

"Summit Sire"

. Summit Sires are

recognized by the

Brangus breed for their ability to sire exceptional

females. At the time, there

were only 30 Summit Sires in the entire

Brangus breed. To become a Summit

Sire a bull must sire at least 5

Summit Cows, to become a Summit Cow, a cow

must have at least 3

calves that ratio 105% or better for weaning weight and

the cow must raise

those calve while maintaining a calving interval of 380 days

or less.
