CATTLE OPERATION - "The Beginning"
We began Wild Mountain Livestock with a Cattle operation, ten (10) Commercial cross bred cows from
Sue's Dad in Echo, Oregon and a Registered Black Angus Bull we purchased from a bull developer in Templeton, California. After
a year of breaking into the cow-calf operation we decided to move into the Pure Bred Registered Black Angus breeding program. We
then began our search for, and acquired, quality Registered Angus cows & additional herd sires to increased
our herd size. We focused on the top 25% or better of breed on Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) and well known established
bloodlines. Improving both the Dams and Herd Sires played an important role in improving the herd genetics
and its production. We continued to operate the Cattle business, Quarterhorse business and farmed
our own feed (smooth beard barley) for 6 wonderful, unforgettable years. We then decided to sell the entire
herd and ranch land in Bradley to relocate to Madera Ranchos where we are continuing our business with the Quarterhorse
Operations only. A special "Thank You" goes out to Anvil Bar Ranch (Bradley, CA.), Swan Family Angus
(Templeton, CA.) and Ward Family-Zebra Ranch (Clovis, CA.). We wish you the best with your WML Cattle.
QUARTER HORSE OPERATION
While at the Bradley
Wild Mountain Livestock Ranch, the natural progression from the Cattle business led to horses and just what Nick was waiting
for. Nick's experience with wild horses, rodeo and starting colts when he was young never left his dreams. The Quarter Horse
breed always being his true love, Nick searched for the perfect beginning and attended the Rick Machado "Main Event"
horse auctions. Wild Mountain Livestock has invested in several young colts out of "Fresnos Ima Master" and "Buck
N Tuff" Stallions. Starting these weanlings carefully, working them around cattle and handling them on a daily basis
has developed gentle, trusting and lovable horses that are cattle savvy. Two of these lovable mares even produced two wonderful,
strong offspring out of the sire "Cowmans Little Peppy", who is a true son of "Peppy San Badger". The two
offspring are the stallion and one of the mares that are currently for sale. (see tabs above). Relocating the Quarter Horse herd to Madera Ranchos was a very smooth and exciting move. The horses are quite at
home and back to a regular training schedule. A list of the Quarter Horses for sale are in three different categories
tabs; "Stallions for Sale", "Geldings for Sale" and "Mares for Sale". (see tabs above)
Please call Nick for pricing and your private showing appointment. We look forward to seeing or hearing from you in the upcoming
future. Come and visit us soon and pick out your new companion & friend...YOUR "Special Quarter Horse".
