Now Located in Checotah, Oklahoma
We are excited to announce that Dismukes Ranch has relocated our herd and ranching operations to Checotah, Oklahoma. We believe this new location will allow us to better serve both our show cattle clients as well as the commercial cattleman. If you are in the area, we welcome you to stop in and visit!
Dismukes Ranch is a seedstock breeder of registered Angus and Charolais cattle designed to meet the needs of real world cattlemen. Since 1988,
our ranch motto has been "Real World Cattle for Real World Cattlemen," and we concentrate on
raising problem-free cattle that have the ability to gain quickly and efficiently. The need for these
kind of cattle is imperative for the success of real world cattlemen.
Selection is the difference here at Dismukes Ranch. We select cattle for physical and phenotype
traits first and foremost. We castrate the bottom 30% to 40% of our bull calves based on actual
performance, structural soundness and phenotype, without any regard to EPD's. We cull
replacements and cows with the same philosophy and put the highest value on udder quality,
feet and fertility. We raise cattle the old-fashioned way: if they don't breed, milk and raise a heavy
calf, they're gone. If a calf doesn't perform and gain, then they're gone. It's a simple philosophy
that many purebred breeders complicate with EPD's and other potential genetic indicators.
