Looking for high quality cattle?

You have come to the right place!


Grass-fed Registered South Poll cattle are hard to find in Texas.  We know.  Our family-owned ranch started assembling our herd in 2015 when South Polls in Texas were almost non-existent.  We hired consultants, attended seminars on what to look for when selecting cattle,  and we looked at a lot of South Poll cattle . . . a whole lot of cattle.  We traveled out of state purchasing cattle in Alabama, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, and brought these South Polls to Texas.  Fortunately for you, over the past decade, we have done the work for you.  If you are looking for superior quality Registered South Poll cattle to either start a herd, to expand your herd, or upgrade your herd, you have come to the right place!  We can help.

Hoof & Hide LLC is a family-owned ranch in the heart of rural East Texas - only a skip-and-a-hop away from both Dallas and Houston.  Our ranch is located in a high-rainfall area.  The lush green pastures are a rancher's paradise . . . except for the oppressive heat and humidity we have in the summer.  But, this is where our Registered South Poll cattle excel:  they were bred for these subtropical summers.  When other cattle stand in the water tank, our South Polls are out and grazing.  With their grass-fed genetics, good mothering, moderate size, depth of body, and beautiful slick hide, we were sold on South Polls and you may be too!  But perhaps we should back up.  This may be your first introduction to South Polls.  South Polls were created in Alabama by Teddy Gentry of the Country Hall of Fame group, Alabama.  Starting in 1989 he worked to create a four-way cross utilizing the best genetics from Hereford, Red Angus, Senepol, and Barzona.  The resulting South Poll is becoming the most sought-after breed among grass-fed producers!  To learn more about us and our cattle, look around on our website and on our External link opens in new tab or windowYouTube channel.  Want to know when we have cattle for sale?  External link opens in new tab or windowSign up for our email newsletter to be the first to know!  If you have questions reach out to us.  We love talking about our Registered South Polls!
