Howard Sheep and Cattle 

_______

​

Howard Sheep and Cattle is situated in the heart of Oklahoma. The ranch is a diversified ranching operation raising cattle, sheep and goats. 

​

Cattle

The cattle operation is focused on cow/calf program with breeds of Hereford, Red Angus and Black Angus. The ranch has put together one of the fanciest, consistent, productive, commercial herds around. This has been accomplished due to a meticulous breeding program, using sires most commercial breeders can only dream about. The herd is very productive. Heifers are exposed for 30 days, and cows for 45. The cows are easy keepers and have not seen a bale of hay in 5 years. During the winter, cows are fed protein every 2 to 3 days in the worst part of the winter. We have selected for calm disposition for decades. The cattle are pasture ran and not babied. How many other producers can say that? 

 

Sheep

Sheep are raised for show, breeding and commercial purposes. A large flock of Royal Whites are ran for meat and breeding production while a smaller flock of Suffolk and Hamps are ran for meat and 4H and FFA projects.

​

Goats

Meat and replacement goats round out the diversification and have increased over the years as the need for goats expands. Spring kidding Spanish and Kiko goats now cover the hillsides. These does are very desirable as recips for the Boer goat industry due to their milking and mothering abilities.
