In 1978 Bubba utilized the services of the first 4 Wagyu bulls imported from Japan to the United States to build his Wagyu herd. In 1990 he sold that herd and 5 years later became ranch manager for Harrell Ranch producing Wagyu cattle for an all natural, organic Kobe beef program. The ranch was the only one of its kind in the United States. Harrell Ranch was condemned under imminent domain laws by TXDOT to build the SH 130 toll road. The road split the ranch in half leaving only small non-contiguous parcels and useless for ranching. After the condemnation, Bubba and Donna purchased the Harrell Ranch seed stock and have continued the breeding program at their ranch. (Please read the news article under Media/Press for more information regarding this and more about Bubba’s experience with the Wagyu breed.)
In 1999 Bubba and Donna along with 9 other ranches founded the Lone Star Angus Alliance and have actively participated in 2 registered Angus sales each year. This year we decided to devote our full attention to our Wagyu breeding program. We have kept our good registered Angus females and will be breeding them to our full blood Wagyu bulls. In the future we will have a registered F-1 program to accompany our full blood program.
