Welcome to OBR

Our Journey

Our immediate family is first generation and have been maintaining homestead ties that go back as far as 1891 at the Will Berry Estate. Our family consist of my wife Kesha, daughters Bre, Elle, Bay, Brook, Bray, Bri and our adopted bovine babies.

Our journey with our own cattle officially began in 2006 as a Brangus commercial operation. That commercial herd later grew into a Simmental seed stock operation during the time I (Ty) finished my degree plan at Texas A&M. As time went on, we introduced our children to our local 4H and they began to exhibit cattle. We became more serious about the genetics we allowed in our herd as the Simmental breed got more competitive year after year. We really enjoy our involvement with other youth projects as well. We continued to accumulate more farm land and buy into more quality genetics. Eventually we became more vertically integrated as a operation who heavily dependent on ET/AI conception. We have extended our herd with sim-solution, 5/8-3/8 & reverse 3/8 Simbrah cattle.

We have added a calf raising program, where we utilize our recipient cows to raise the customer pregnancies until weaning as a service for cattleman who want to grow their herd with quality.

Our operation continues to evolve with the times, produce good quality and provide service in cattle production. We would love for you to come visit us at the ranch.

God Blessed our family w/ Braylee & “Brilee in 2016. Brilee went w/ our Lord May 30, 2019 and she will forever be missed until we all meet again. We have a Angel in Heaven watching over our family and operation. She loved spending time at the ranch with her identical twin sister. We will take each step in life with Brilee in mind. We Love You Brilee!
