Welcome! welcome! WILD TRACK CATTLE Wild Track Cattle was established in 2008 in East Texas around the town of Henderson, TX. While our time in the actual production phase is short, we have produced a variety of high-quality cattle. Our history in the Simmental cattle industry begins in 1985 when my grandfather started purchasing Simmental bulls to run on his crossbred cows to improve weaning weights and to produce females to be retained in the herd. At Wild Track Cattle we make every effort to produce Simmental and Simmental influenced cattle that will thrive in all aspects of the world, as we use Simmental and Brahman bulls on our registered and commercial cattle. We run 75 registered cows and 100+ commercial cows. The majority of our registered Simmental cattle go back to Buzzard Hollow Ranch, Estes Ranch, as well as our genetics we have produced here on our farm. We strive to produce cattle that have the traits that we think are the most important. We want cattle that are fertile, easy keeping and can produce in the pasture and feedlot.
ESTES RANCH Estes Ranch was established in 1897 on the Texas/ Oklahoma state line near the communities of Wellington, Texas and Vinson, Oklahoma. The ranch started out with commercial Herefords and in 1978 we bought Simmental bulls to increase growth and maternal performance and started building our Simmental herd from there. In 1981 the ranch purchased some purebred Simmental cows, and then in 1985 we followed up by purchasing two 1/4 Simmental, 3/4 Brahman bulls to start our Simbrah herd. Today we run 150 Fleckvieh and purebred Simmental cows and over 300 registered and commercial Simbrah cows. Throughout this period we have focused on developing an efficient, low maintenance cow with excellent udder quality as well as a great set of feet and legs to cover rough terrain. Additionally, we have been collecting carcass data on our calves for over 25 years. We have proudly in creased our calves from 60% choice to 98% or better. The cattle you see here today are a result of 6 generations of genetic selection to produce the best cattle possible and will be a great addition to anyone’s herd.
