We’re Moving!

We have exciting news to share with the Beefmaster family. The BBU office will be moving it’s headquarters to College Station, Texas. With Board approval, we put the office in Boerne, Texas up for sale in June 2022. We now have a contract in place for our asking price with a lease-back contract also in place through the end of 2022. This gives us ample time to plan for the move. The plan is to lease space in College Station, Texas for the short term, and to build on the TAMU campus in the long term. The University’s vision is an American Breeds Campus, which is tremendously exciting for the Beefmaster breed.

Throwback to 1991!

Today’s Throwback Thursday comes from June of 1991! While it’s exciting to see how many sales were taking place during that time, it’s even more exciting to see how we’ve progressed forward over the years with several sales currently taking place around the United States. One thing that has constantly remained the same over the years is that the demand for Beefmaster Cattle is always high!

Convention Sponsorships!

We are giving Beefmaster breeders and businesses the opportunity to show their support through various levels of financial support for our annual convention. All the sponsors will be featured during the convention through recognition in on beefmasters.org, signage and listing in The Beefmaster Cowman.

Director Spotlight!

Meet Jerry Davis, Canton, Texas. Jerry and Karen started their Beefmaster operation in 1986 after meeting Frank Gordon in Kaufman, Texas. This was the beginning of Davis Beefmasters. In 1992 they moved to Van Zandt County and expanded their ranch where they operate a Registered Beefmaster cow/calf operation. The ranch is on 160 acres in Canton, Texas and the focus from the beginning was breeding and raising quality polled cattle.
