ames 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, Ed 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. Frank and J.W. imported some of the first Brahman cattle into the United States.

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, registered Red Brangus cows and began to develop a purebred, registered 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 established the  brand to mark her cattle.  

In 2008, Wilma Buffaloe passed away. At the time of her death at age 85, Wilma was the oldest, active Red Brangus Breeder. She bought her last registered heifer in the CX Advantage Sale in October 2007 and she actively made decisions about which bulls to buy to improve our herd. Her last two purchases were CX Home Run 135P and Sureway's Rocky Street 227N. These bulls are held in partnership with Cox Excalibur and Triangle Farms respectively. 

In 2009, Vincent Price from Cameron, Texas joined the Buffaloes when he married Tracee. Vince and Tracee are now living in Victoria and manage the herd on a daily basis. 

We are proud of our heritage in the breeding of Brahman influenced 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. 

Our 3/8 x 5/8 Red Brangus Cattle are derived from the top purebred Red Brangus bulls such as BCC Mr. Gene, Chief Cardinal, Rocky Street, Home Run, Predominant, Sensation, Topline, Oak Creek's 27D the Forage Champion, Cardinal, Powerman and Mr. High Star X19/E. 

We have recently purchased an interest in a potential herd sire from Stacey and Kelly Costello at BKC Ranch. The bull is named BKC HOT SHOT 10W and was crowned the Bull Calf Champion at every show in which he was entered in 2009. Hot Shot 10W is a Rocky Street grandson.

In addition, Chief Cardinal has passed on but he left behind a great herd sire prospect in his last calf crop, The Bull is BCC MACHO 124W. Watch for him in the 2010 shows. He is something special. For a preview of MACHO look in our classifieds under bulls and 124W.
