American Cruz
Over 40 years in the making, this maternally focused breed is built to thrive in harsh sub-tropical environments. We created this cow line by using real-world production data, one of the world’s largest databases of genomically enhanced EPDs, and an intense phenotypic selection process focused on fertility, soundness and marbling. This cow line is built from using the best genetics that were produced from our his- toric cross-breeding program started in the late 1980s in conjunction with elite and modern Santa Gertrudis, Shorthorn and Red Angus blood lines: • King Ranch’s American Cruz cattle consistently offer impressive grading at 80% or higher USDA Choice+ and Prime. • King Ranch American Cruz annual production costs are consistently below the indus- try average with 28% less in feed inputs. • The average effective lifespan of an American Cruz cow on King Ranch is 8.4 years old. • In 2023, approximately 1 in 5 cows on King Ranch, totaling 4,600 females, thrived beyond a decade in age while maintaining a productive capacity. • A cow achieving a 10-year lifespan generates an impressive 59% more income com- pared to a counterpart with a mere 6-year lifespan.

Since its founding in 1853, King Ranch continues to drive ranch, yard, rail, and profit improvements in cattle performance as well as range management techniques. Our present-day operations aspire to new levels of excellence through a mix of time-test- ed experience and the latest data-driven genetic practices. The results provide more accurate predictions on fertility, efficiency, carcass quality, and longevity for King Ranch cattle and the commercial operations we partner with. Our purebred Santa Gertrudis cattle unit serves to produce the seedstock for King Ranch’s commercial cow-calf operation. Through genetic improvements, our cattle perform in one of nature’s toughest environments as well as compete against an ever-improving national supply of feeder cattle. To effectively make selection decisions, in the early 2000s, King Ranch developed its own within-herd Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) system which is continually up- dated and used to guide the management of our herd today. Having our own EPD database allows us to make data-driven management decisions in order to produce the most profitable animal possible. With performance data on over 90,000 animals, King Ranch currently has one of the most robust cattle databases in the world. King Ranch was the first to utilize the single-step genomically enhanced EPD model. This system balances rigid phenotypic selection parameters and cutting-edge with- in-herd EPDs, including a suite of carcass, growth, and fertility EPDs as well as King Ranch PROVEN® indices: King Ranch PROVEN® Fertile, King Ranch PROVEN® Carcass, King Ranch PROVEN® Growth, and our total index King Ranch PROVEN® Profit. King Ranch DNA and parentage tests 100% of their herd bulls and females. Fertility and calf performance data is included in our King Ranch PROVEN® within-herd EPDs. The King Ranch PROVEN® EPDs, unlike any other beef cattle production system, are heavily weighted with commercial performance data to accurately quantify the most profitable and economically relevant traits.
