It’s not uncommon for Excell bred females to produce quality show and replacement calves year after year well into their teens. Females in our herd currently trace back to the most well-known show bloodlines in the Santa Gertrudis breed available the last thirty years. Replacement and show females are always available at the ranch headquarters just south of Houston, Texas in Santa Fe, Texas.
