Donny and Janice Heinze of the Heinze Angus Ranch are raising some of the best Registered Black Angus Cattle in Texas. Their ranch is located in Tuscola, Texas south of Abiline.
The Black Angus cattle that we see today originated from four Scottish bulls that were brought to Victoria, Kansas. A man named George Grant in the late 1800s is thought to have brought these unique bulls to Kansas. Though we don't know the exact herd from which these black bulls originated, it's generally assumed that they're from George Brown's farm in Westertown, Fochabers, Scotland. Eventually they have become one of the most popular breeds in the world.
Black Angus cattle are definitely unique animals when compared with a traditional cow or bull you might see at a farm or pastures across the United States. They're hardy, easy to raise, and can be sold for market after two years.
Donny and Janice are using some of the best Angus sires in the United States to artificially inseminate their herd with. They are all ABS Global Sires. Some of the most famous sires are (Mytty IN Focus AAA 13880818, the industries most popular sire), (Connealy Lead ON AAA 1347282, ranks as one of the top twenty bulls in the industry), (HA Image Maker 0415 AAA, One of ABS' top sellers based on calving ease, growth and female making ability), and (MCC Day Break AAA 14777016, 2008 Angus Sire Alliance Winner).
They also have some of the best Angus Dams in the US. Some of their dams are daughters of QLC LaGrand Forum. He was the 2005-2006 National Champion Black Angus Sire. Some of the other dams are daughters of Gar Predestined, and Bon View New Design 1407.
With all these quality blood lines, Donny and Janice have produced some of the top Angus cattle in the U.S.
