Rugged Cross Ranch

Rugged Cross Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, in Jackson County and the Gulf Coast near Gulfport. The operation follows recommended health testing and traceability guidelines recognized by leading registry organizations.

The cattle graze on coastal pastures and receive daily hands-on attention to encourage steady growth and a calm temperament. Animals are born and raised on the family-owned farm, where subtle rotations of grasslands support soil health and animal welfare. Breeding lines emphasize maternal qualities and docile behavior in a setting that blends traditional practices with modern animal husbandry.

Visitors often remark on the ranch’s relaxed atmosphere and the clear care shown throughout each stage of development. Several bulls from the ranch have been selected for regional shows, reflecting careful selection and consistent breed traits. Established by a local family with roots in agriculture, the ranch maintains values passed down through generations.
