| 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.
