EMMONS STORY PROOF 042814

welcome back to the American Rancher Emmons ranch near Fairfield Texas is a prime operation that has raised beefmaster cattle for almost 40 years during that time Stephenson demons have focused on bringing forth a type of animal that has yielded splendid results and has made their operation of flagship among breeders for me it's all about the mating I look for the beefmaster cows that have a look that I want and made the right way and the cows that can produce good bulls that's that's the key for my operation is finding those females little producers really good bulls and then trying to make those cattle and stack some genetics to get consistency and predictability in my cattle with nearly 40 years experience in breeding beefmaster cattle current BBU President Steve Evans of Fairfield Texas is a man of practical vision Steve's focuses on producing what he calls the good one when you visit the Emmons ranch good ones are what you see I'm looking for one that looks good to begin with I look for one that's got a strong powerful pop and walks right and does what you know they're supposed to physically I'll have high quality red beefmaster bulls and high quality black beefmaster bulls but the main thing is they need to be good books but good bull for me is that bull that's got the big top the heavy muscle that will produce the count of calves they'll go out and make the guy's money Steven Cindy Emmons purchased their first registered beef masters in 1975 the philosophy at Emmons ranch is debri beef masters that have consistent muscle that will perform in the pasture and look good doing it their major emphasis is on collecting performance data including birth weight weaning white yearling white and scan data we have a certain phenotype that we like to produce here we produce Bulls for the commercial cow man we produce seed stock for other registered beefmaster breeders and we produce show cattle for the show ring we like cattle that look good we put a lot of time and effort into the beefmaster business and as a woman I want to go out and see pretty cows but these cattle can perform we have proven it we do a lot of performance testing so we do have all the numbers to back up our cattle and they're not only pretty but they perform the herd sire battery and cow herd at Emmons Ranch is rich established and one of the most storied in the breed program sires include smooth cavalier bonfire headliner captain britches and Johnny Cash program females include stylish Jersey amazing ace body by smooth miss buff the duchess lady jane miss sugar Belle and Jezebel Emmons ranch has produced five national champion bowls and to reserve national champion bowls along with the champion goals they've produced for Miss beefmaster America winners and to reserve miss beefmaster America winners AI and embryo production have been used extensively at Emmons Ranch since 1980 Steve and Cindy began using ultrasound in 2005 they currently have two herd sires in the top six trade leaders for rib eye area in 2012 they produced the National performance champion bowl here at Evans Ranch we ultrasound every one of our animals that we keep here on the ranch if she's not at our standard if she's two below then we're not going to use her and we do that with our bulls and our heifers if you go by a high-dollar bull but if you're breeding it to cattle that don't have good scan data good rib eye good marbling your bull and only can help 50 percent but if you can scan and go through there and find your problem cows then your bull will definitely help your replacement herd this is EMS firehouse he was the Grand Champion bull at the heart of Texas firing Waco grand champion bull at the Fort Worth fat Stock Show grand champion bull at the Houston Livestock Show and now he's your 2014 national champion bull a lot like his daddy bonfire he has that dead level long strong thick top inning and that's that's very predictable Brian Milner is a commercial producer that tried a number of Bulls on his predominantly Brahe's type cow herd he settled his bull selection search years ago with a visit to Emmons ranch when I first started coming I wanted to pick my own Bulls and Steve would tell me you need to buy this bull because he'll do what you want him to do add the pounds to your calves well I finally let Steve pick one of my bulls and now I let Steve pick all of my bulls he really knows his cattle and if you'll do what Steve tells you if you're a commercial cow man he'll make you some money I would recommend anybody that's looking for a beat mr. bull to come talk to them and and then go with what they recommend because they really know their cattle and their cattle will really perform for you they have for me Sheldon McManus ranches in Louisiana he's a seed stock breeder that purchased Rockstar a son of amazing ace and he also owns a syndicate share of bonfire amazing ace I don't remember dr. what year it was but when I was seen her as a calf in Houston davin bond bought both 15 percent ago I thought she was the best thing there I know we from Louisiana and the kalman and that parted country loves the kind of animal that image is putting out and and that we're putting out and we have a lot of images influenced and I heard they made great oak cattle but they also work for the commercial cow man here at the Fort Worth fat Stock Show we've got Levin head here we've got seven females and four Bulls producing good commercial Bulls is the main driving force but the what we try to produce like say the right kind of cattle cattle it's got some thickness and some muscle and that can walk right and travel right and they'll do the job in the pasture and as far as I'm concerned the only difference between walking that bull in the show ring and him breeding in the pasture there's a higher cutting the bubblebath ems amazing ace the 2008 miss beefmaster america is flush mate to the 2008 national champion bull ems
