THE RANCHES are raising the best
Romagnolas that we can. Putting together
bloodlines from all over the World to prefect this
great breed. We have been breeding the
Romagnola since 1972. We brought the first
Romagnolas to the United States, with a bull calf
called “Rob Roy”.
This Great Breed works well in South Texas, as
well in North Country.
We have crossed with several other breeds and
the Romagnola influence comes across at
weaning time and goes all the way to the bank.
Below is one of our main Full Blood Romagnola
Bulls. This bull is used mainly for semen
collection. Very outstanding bull for the
Romagnola breed.
ROMANGUS: We have created
this new breed call RomAngus.
Working with Texas-A&M and
many Veterinarian and
Reproduction Specialists, We have
created the RomAngus Breed. It is
a cross between Romagnola &
Angus. We DNA test all calves to
check for Homozygous black and
Poll genes.
This cross is the best for top
quality meat. The meat is lean and
tender and will cut Choice. Calves
are born small, and grow very fast.

We have raised Full Blood Romagnolas since 1974.
The Romagnolas here in the Mid West have done very well. The heat and the cold
doesn’t have any effect on them.
Over the years we have crossed with several different breeds. The Romagnola is known
to have low birth weight & fast weight gain. This has been proven for years off the cow,
and to the feed lots. The Romagnola in commercial herds has produced more solid
color calves. While SOME breeds are in the ponds cooling off, the Romagnola Bull is out
working for you. We have sold Romagnolas all over the United States and in Mexico.
We want to invite you to come see the Romagnolas at our place.

“Average weaning
weight was 528.6 lbs”
A
group of 30 RomAngus calves was born in March 2012 at Cherokee Ranch and was
weaned, weighed, and photographed in August at 5 months. All were uniform bulls and
heifers. Average weaning weight was 528.6 lbs. With an average birth weight of 64 lbs,
this group produced an average daily gain of 3.1 pounds per day! The hybrid growth
works well with a Romagnola bull on a black cow. You can expect these Romagnola X
Angus calves, both steers and heifers, to produce NO TRIM carcasses that GRADE
CHOICE and yield 65+%. This translates to MONEY IN THE BANK and the
GUESS WORK OUT!
I
f feeder calves are your goal, Romagnola bulls can help you achieve a predictable,
uniform herd. Romagnola bulls are fertile, mobile, and aggressive breeders. Like
Brahman influenced cattle, Romagnola skin can thermo-regulate, or “sweat”, which helps
them to thrive in hot, tropical, or arid (dry) conditions. Romagnola also cross great with
Brahman to improve marbling, remove a little ear, and usually doesn’t change the
offspring’s body color. The Romagnola bull is being recognized as an excellent maternal
sire, which can be a herd changer with his offspring in most cattle, including buffalo, to
add more rump, small-grained muscle fiber, and fine flakes of marbling.

W
e are confident that our Romagnola
bulls will make a significant impact in
helping commercial cattlemen increase their
cattle weights without sacrificing calving
ease.
R
“Romagnola are
very gentle”
omagnola calves are long and tubular,
which are easier to calve than short,
compact calves. Most Romagnola and
Romagnola crosses produce uniform calves
with birth weights in the 65-78 pound range.
Romagnola calves are hardy, vigorous, and
grow off quickly.
R
“Unmatched in both Heat
and Cold Resistance”
EXPECT:
• Gentle
• Fertility & Calving Ease
• Growth & Hardiness
• Excellent Flavor & Tenderness
• Higher Average Daily Gain
• High Select and Choice Carcasses
• MORE PROFITABILITY!
omagnola are very gentle cattle. This
trait alone makes them your ideal choice—
Research has proven that gentle cattle do
better on feed and hang a better carcass.
T
hey are unmatched in both heat and
cold tolerance. Romagnola range from
Canada down through South America.
Because of this, they can perform well in
almost any environment.
R
omagnola crosses make excellent
“feeders” in the feedlot and often finish
earlier than other composites. In one study
of two equal groups of approx. 100 females
in each group, Romagnola bulls were
crossed with one group and Angus bulls
were crossed with the other. The Romagnola
crossed group finished 30 days earlier in the
feedlot than the Angus crossed group!

Romagnola bulls can produce calves
that are lively, grow quickly, and
produce tremendous muscular
carcasses that can yield in the 65%
range or better, even when bred to
inferior cows. The meat is tender,
moist, lean, and full of flavor.

If you combine Romagnola
genetics with breeds that have
marbling, then you will get crosses that
will grade and yield. If you cross
Romagnola with cattle that are lean, like
the European lean breeds, then you will
get high yielding carcasses with a hybrid
vigor boost in the first cross.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE
LOST EACH YEAR DUE TO
EXCESS FAT!!!
Lean, High
Yielding
Romagnola
Cross Carcass
In the first picture above, over one inch of backfat had to be trimmed from these steaks. This is typical of Choice
carcasses. Steaks are either trimmed by the packer, or by the point of sale such as restaurants and supermarkets.
This causes increased time and labor costs, and produces tremendous waste. Almost 1/4 to 1/3 is lost from the
product, and meat is sold by weight. The second photo demonstrates the amount of fat accumulated in the
“waste tray”. If this was a “Prime cut”, there would be even more backfat! High yielding carcasses bring more
dollars, and heavier muscled, leaner carcasses pay premiums. It is a fact that our society is demanding leaner,
healthier beef, and the supply is short. Perhaps now you can see why there is such a push to find lean, muscular
bulls that can produce choice and correct the problem of backfat. Look no further than Romagnola!
• ROMAGNOLA BULLS CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND GIVE YOU CALVES THAT WILL
YIELD HIGHER AND CUT AT LEAST 65% CARCASS.
• ROMAGNOLA CROSS CALVES ARE EFFICIENT IN THE FEEDLOT AND OFTEN FINISH
SOONER THAN OTHER CALVES NOT INFLUENCED BY ROMAGNOLA.
• FEEDLOT DATA SHOW THAT ROMAGNOLA CROSS CALVES ARE HARDY AND SELDOM
NEED ANTIBIOTICS OR OTHER MEDICATIONS.

The demand for less back fat on our beef is not just a
passing fancy. It's a fundamental consumer attitude
shaping the beef industry's future. We must respond.
Romagnola cross beef is exactly what the public is
seeking: lean, low in cholesterol and delicious!
Romagnola cross has extremely high meat to bone yield
of about 65+% on average.
