Meet the Breeders
PCC — Pharo Cattle Company

     The “PCC” prefix (alone) is used to identify bulls produced by cows owned by Kit or Tyson Pharo. Some of these cows are located on our home ranch in Eastern Colorado, while others are located in cooperator herds. You will see the PCC prefix (alone) on Angus, Red Angus, Composite and Tarentaise bulls. More and more of the PCC Angus bulls are being produced by Tyson. He also happens to be the proud owner of Magua. As with any start-up business, Tyson has seen a whole lot more money going out than coming in, but he has put together a most impressive herd of Angus cows that will be turning a profit for years to come. You can contact us by calling 1-800-311-0995. We would love to give you a tour of our ranch and our cattle.


REI — Reinart’s Prairie Reds

     Reinart’s Prairie Reds is located seven miles north of Glidden in West Central Iowa, where I raise Angus, Red Angus and Composite cattle. Having been fortunate enough to run a core group of Pharo Cattle Company’s females (cows and heifers) because of the drought, I was able to obtain female progeny from this group. Being a holistic grazier, I find the addition of these females to my already adapted herd will enhance my no-grain, strictly grass, limited hay, seedstock and grass finished beef enterprise.
      I enjoy working with someone with the same philosophies and having access to his genetics. I look forward to producing seedstock as a cooperator with Pharo Cattle Company. Steve Reinart, phone 712-656-2563.


RF — Red Fork Red Angus

     Red Fork Red Angus is an old established herd that was started in 1961 by Cheri’s folks, Roland and Beverly Landrey. It was the 3rd Red Angus herd to start in the state of Wyoming. We purchased the herd in 1985 and brought it to the Red Wall Country northwest of Kaycee, WY. This ranch was established in 1877 and has been in Ken’s family since 1908. Our three daughters, Kendi, Lyndi, and Neteal, are 5th generation Graves on the Red Fork Ranch.
      Our feminine, maternal cows have to be able to "make it on their own" in the rugged mountain terrain (8000+ ft.) at the southern end of the Big Horn Mountains. They have to be easy fleshing, sound, hardy and efficient to survive. They also need to have good feet and legs to deal with the steep, rough terrain and the long distances they have to walk over rocky ground. These traits, as well as longevity, are born and bred into their calves. Red Fork cows are in several different states and they have done extremely well. We have also been gathering carcass data on our steers and heifers since 1995, and it has been excellent.
      The PCC philosophy is working for us and we continue to learn from it. We appreciate the great people we work with and have met through the PCC program. We live a little off the beaten path, but would welcome a visit any time. A trip to the mountain (in the summer) is fun and we always enjoy showing you our Red Angus cows and the scenic country they run in. Ken and Cheri Graves, phone 307-738-2247.
