Located in Southern Arkansas, we source primarily Brangus cattle because we believe they offer the best combination of beef quality, growing efficiency and tenderness.

Let us show you the difference.

Two families. One goal.

 

Grady and Sara Green have a history in raising seedstock Brangus cattle that goes back to Grady’s childhood. Raised on various cattle operations across Texas, Grady brings a lifelong cattleman’s approach to the business of raising beef cattle. He has been the General Manager at Draggin’ M Ranch in El Dorado, Arkansas since the spring of 2009. Throughout his time at Draggin’ M, he has grown the operation through the use of high quality Brangus genetics. Today Draggin’ M Ranch cattle are highly sought after by seedstock producers throughout the Southeast. Sara grew up showing and livestock judging in eastern Colorado. Her introduction to bos-indicus cattle came when she was hired on as a marketing and advertising director at Camp Cooley Ranch. She has grown to love and appreciate Brangus cattle and continues to help with the marketing and advertising of a few private clients as well as working as the Executive Director for the Texas Equine Veterinary Association.

Together with their two children, Grady and Sara share a lifelong passion for the beef industry and are excited to offer a product that they can stand behind in terms of genetics, purity, quality and taste.

 

Adam and Heather Graves are first generation ranchers from Southern Arkansas. They have always shared a dream of raising their four boys on a ranch, to instill the ethics of hardwork, honesty and integrity. They set out to make that dream a reality and have worked hard to build a Brangus herd that anyone would be proud to own.

Heather’s passion for ranch life, combined with her professional life as a nurse practitioner combines effortlessly to promote a healthy lifestyle that emphasizes the importance of nutritional food that is valuable to growing bodies and minds. As the push behind the health-side of Southern Beef Company, Heather emphasizes the importance of red meat in a balanced diet and how healthy diets can increase overall health and wellbeing.
