Bowling Herefords

Bowling Herefords operates out of Newkirk, Oklahoma, raising registered Hereford cattle in the heart of Kay County, roughly an hour north of Stillwater near the Kansas state line. Mike and LaReshia Bragg are the owners behind the operation, which is connected to a ranching tradition at Bowling Ranch that dates to 1904.

The Hereford program centers on a balanced approach to both performance and phenotype, selecting bulls that are structurally correct, docile, and easy fleshing while carrying a well-rounded EPD profile. Genetics are advanced through an active AI and embryo transfer program, drawing on what the ranch describes as progressive breeding stock to move the herd forward without sacrificing maternal quality. Commercial cattlemen looking for registered Hereford cattle in Oklahoma will find a program built around producing bulls that sire solid replacement females alongside market-ready feeder calves.

The ranch also maintains a Red Angus herd, begun in 2008, applying the same selection standards used in the Hereford program with an emphasis on calving ease, growth, and carcass merit. The cattle graze on a wide expanse of native grass in far northeast Kay County, with the Arkansas River forming the ranch's western boundary.
