Meet the Breeders |
| LRAR — Lytle
Red Angus Ranch |
I would like to
thank Pharo Cattle Co. for including our herd in their program.
We
run
around
250 Red Angus cows, with
60 of them being registered. We are located on the Cheyenne
River 12 miles northwest of Wall, SD. The Red Angus cattle
adapt readily to the rugged terrain on our ranch.
At one time my grandfather was on this ranch
and lost it during the depression. My dad purchased the ranch back in 1974 and
now my
wife
and
I own and operate
the ranch. My family includes my wife Angela and four boys: Dalton, Zeb, Kale
and Clancy.
We feel our cattle and philosophies parallel
those of Pharo Cattle Co. and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the
team.

| OAO—Overdorff Angus Operation |
At an elevation
of 7500 feet, Overdorff Angus Operation is located at the base
of the
Wyoming
Range
Mountains, 26 miles
west of Pinedale, Wyoming. The growing season is only 55-60
days and the winters can be very long and harsh. We realized
we needed to find a way to produce more efficient cattle if
we were going to continue ranching in this environment. That
realization led us to the decision to start breeding our own
bulls. Along the road to that decision, we were mentored and
became friends with many low input, like minded breeders, who
helped us form the goals for our breeding program. We are very
grateful to those folks for their time and generosity, and
the road ultimately led to Kit Pharo.
Our goal became, and will always be, to breed
purebred Angus cattle with great udders, gentle dispositions and longevity,
in an easy
fleshing,
moderate
package.
The opportunity for my wife Jackie, daughter Brecken and I to join the PCC
operation allows us to continue to grow and learn from some great cattlemen
and women. We feel very humbled and blessed by God to be able to be a part
of Pharo Cattle Company. Brandon and Jackie Overdorff, phone 307-859-8221.

| OH — Ozark Hills Land &
Cattle |
Ozark Hills
Land & Cattle is a 4th generation cattle farm dedicated
to raising forage cattle in southern Missouri. We are in
the fescue belt and continually work on fescue tolerance,
slick hair coats, insect resistance, etc. — everything
to do with adaptability. We believe that cattle that can
excel on fescue can excel in nearly all other environments.
Fertility is our #1 priority. Raising bulls that will consistently
sire highly fertile, slick haired, good uddered females
that are moderate in size is our goal.
We became organic in the
fall of 2005 after a 3-year transition period. This takes
away most of the crutches. We don’t use any wormers
or fly control. No antibiotics. We are 100% grassfed. No
grain supplements. We have transitioned to fall calving
because it works best in southern fescue country.
Feel free to come by for
a visit. We would love to show you our cattle any time.
