"Breeding Quality Cattle For Over 110 Years"


Home > History

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.

Buffaloe Cattle Company offers over 110 Years of quality and innovative cattle breeding.  Come by our ranch at Nursery, Texas; just outside of Victoria, and we'll be happy to show you our outstanding cattle.
