Bragg Ranch

Bragg Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Emerson, AR, in Columbia County and the southwestern Arkansas plains near Magnolia. It has bred registered Herefords for over two decades and holds membership in the American Hereford Association, following strict health testing for fertility and calving ease. Their cattle graze on native pasture with rotational grazing practices, and calves are gently weaned to support stress-free development and lifelong docility.

The ranch emphasizes herd health through routine veterinary care and low-stress handling, allowing regular socialization with handlers to produce cattle well suited for family farms or small-scale operations. A multigenerational operation, Bragg Ranch has consistently placed in regional livestock shows and shares insights on pasture management with local 4-H programs. Reputation among peer breeders notes balanced confirmation and calm temperaments, reflecting the ranch’s long-standing commitment to sustainable breeding and responsible stewardship. The ranch’s roots go back to the 1950s, with family values shaping every aspect of animal care.
