Clark Angus Ranch, Crockett, Texas, has received the Historic Herd Award by the American Angus AssociationSM. William Clark started the herd of registered Angus cattle and is still responsible for the herd today.
William purchased his first cattle from the Tommy Brooke Ranch, San Saba, Texas. He exhibited his Angus extensively in the 1960s, 70s and 80s throughout the Southwest. He built his herd by retaining replacement females and purchasing females at sales. William bought many of his herd sires in Denver during the stock show and began using A.I. in his herd in the 1960s. In addition to operating his cow herd, which currently numbers about 600 cows, he served as president of the American Angus Association in 1975.
The American Angus Association presents the Historic Angus Herd Award to Angus herds that have been in the continuous production of registered Angus cattle by the same family for 50 years or more.
The American Angus Association is the world’s largest beef breed organization, providing programs and services to thousands of commercial producers and more than 34,000 regular and junior members nationwide. For more information go to www. angus.org or call 816-383-5100.
