D A Harral

D A Harral, Limousin cattle, Fort Stockton, TX, serves West Texas and the Permian Basin near Midland. The operation reflects family ranching traditions dating to the 1980s. For more than a decade it has maintained Limousin association memberships and follows routine genetic screening and health testing protocols.

Calves develop in expansive pasture-based herds under daily low-stress handling to encourage steady growth, calm temperaments and smooth adaptation to diverse management styles. Facilities include windbreak-protected loafing sheds, rotational grazing paddocks and sturdy corrals designed for safe movement. Trait selection focuses on balance of muscling, structural soundness and maternal qualities, supported by on-site feed analysis and nutrition planning. Records are meticulously kept for pedigree, birth weights and performance data to guide future breeding decisions and maintain transparency, and this approach has earned favorable feedback from neighboring producers and ensures consistent, adaptable herds across similar ranching conditions.
