James Robinson
established the brand in 1895 at Nursery, Texas. He
farmed and raised cattle and passed his knowledge of
agriculture to his son-in-law Bill Gullett. Bill and his
brother-in-law Glen Davies, a prominent Houston CPA, raised
Hereford cattle and used the D-G brand until the 1960's.
 In
1964, Gene and Wilma Gullett Buffaloe bought out the heirs to
the Robinson Estate and reinstated the JR brand in the herd.
Gene had a keen sense of cattle confirmation that was
developed in Palacios, Texas under the supervision of his
father, W. E. Buffaloe and his uncle, Frank Buffaloe.
Frank Buffaloe and J. W. Sartwell, founder of the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo, were partners in the Brahman cattle
business.
They imported the
first Brahman cattle into the United States and were founders
of the American Brahman Breeders Association.
Gene acquired the
Robinson cattle. He knew the value of crossing the
English Breeds with Brahmans which were heavily muscled, heat,
disease and insect resistant. He raised cattle that
exhibited hybrid growth as demonstrated by high weaning
weights. Gene produced thick, heavily muscled,
"Easy Keeper" cows. In the late seventies,
Gene introduced the first Red Brangus Bulls into the herd.
Those bulls were purchased from Franklin Flato at Berclair,
Texas.
In 1991, Gene
Buffaloe passed away and Wilma Gullett Buffaloe handed the
ranching over to her son, Bruce. Wilma and Bruce added
purebred Red Brangus cows and began to develop a purebred Red
Brangus herd. Wilma and Bruce immediately recognized
that purebred 3/8 x 5/8 Red Brangus Cattle were the cattle of
choice and the premium animals to breed.
In 1995, Bruce married Nancy Wiegand Buffaloe, Buffaloe
Cattle Company and Red Brangus' best saleswoman. Nancy
developed a "Good Sense" method of investing in
Red Brangus by buying semen interest in bulls and high grade
heifers. She and Bruce established the
brand to mark their cattle. We have used the best bulls and top
females in Red Brangus to develop our herd and will pass this
legacy to our daughters Tracee and Lissa.
We are proud of our
heritage in the breeding of Brahman influenced cattle.
Our 3/8 x 5/8 Red Brangus Cattle are derived from the top
purebred Red Brangus bulls such as Predominant, Sensation,
Topline, Oak Creek's 27D the Forage Champion, TCR Masterpiece,
Cardinal, Chief Cardinal, Powerman and Mr. High Star X19/E.
