Foundation Females

The Santa Rosa Ranch is MAKING THE BEST BREED BETTER!

The Brangus Female: Fertile. Maternal. Efficient. Adaptable. Disposition. Growth. Longevity.  Profit Driven.

The Ideal Package. 

For the past 15 years, Santa Rosa Ranch has been making significant investment by quietly building our operation into the largest registered breeder of Brangus and Ultrablack cattle in the United States. This goal was reached by retaining the best of our registered females and continuously improving our cow herd.  Our belief is to develop the ideal female that will make our customers more money – she is moderate, reproductively efficient, has ideal maternal traits, easy fleshing ability and lower input costs while calving consistently, year after year.  

Santa Rosa Ranch has developed a donor herd from some of the most famous cow families in the Brangus breed such as 000, 22, 23, 30, 68, 75, 88, 99, 193, 209, 222, 240, 289, 291, 302, 331, 361, 392, 409, 415, 468, 487, 504, 535, 541, 661, 675, 784, 795, 797, 803, 820, 881 and 915. Additionally, new bloodlines have been developed for Brangus and Ultrablack from renowned Angus cow families 109, 556, 614, 704, 867 and 2114.

These females were selected for their calving ease and low birth weight, sound udders, mothering ability and high weaning weights for their calves. Their capability to produce and tolerate the environmental conditions from heat, drought and humidity make them ideal producers in the SRR herd. However, the most impressive data comes from the ultrasound scans of the Ribeye Area (REA) and Intramuscular Fat (IMF).
