Horses

Our operation goal is to produce all around horses that can work cattle at the ranch and in the show pen, cross rivers, and safely carry any rider into the back country. We utilize registered Quarter and Appaloosa horses in our program. We have several geldings and mares that are used at the ranch. We are constantly working to expand our operation by breeding our own stock to better meet our goals and expectations.

Cattle

Our cattle operation is breeding registered Angus cattle for production and show. We also currently raise Corriente cross steers for custom processing. The Corriente cross allows for increased weight gain on less feed. Corriente cattle are known for being small hardy cattle that produce lower fat content in their red meat, leading it to be a top producing breed for grass fed beef. This combined with their ability to utilize feed efficiently will allow us to use our 160 acres efficiently.

Corriente beef has been shown to be lower in fat and healthier. We know that the beef analysis will vary according to how you feed out your cattle, but here’s a sample analysis from NACA Lifetime Member, 6 Ranch, comparing the cholesterol, fat content and calories of their Corriente Beef against Conventional Beef, Pork Chops and Chinook Salmon.

About

The 4 Lazy T ranch has been a dream of the Tucker family since 2009. We finally have moved to a property that can allow the ranch to be a reality. Our whole family is involved in running the ranch, from working the horses, to fixing fence.
