Four Generations
L to R: Benton, Brooke, Cole, Alyssa, Mike and Crickett England
OF RAISING BRAHMAN CATTLE IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
1950
Our roots in the Brahman business date back to the early 1950s when Crickett’s grandfather C.W. Schwarz purchased a registered Brahman bull and a small herd of cows from J.D. Hudgins, Inc. in Hungerford, Texas.
1984
In 1984, with “barely two nickels to rub together,” Mike and Crickett took a leap of faith and founded England Cattle Co., raising commercial cattle for 25 years. In 2010, they reentered the registered Brahman business with a focus on Polled Grey Brahman genetics.
2020
In 10 years, ECC has grown to a herd of 200-plus registered Brahmans with more than 50 representing our established Polled genetics. Today, ECC genetics can be found in the United States as well as in Africa, Australia and Mexico.

Welcome to
ENGLAND CATTLE CO. Dear Fellow Brahman Breeders: It brings me great pleasure to welcome you to England Cattle Co. for the inaugural Brahmans on the Rio Production Sale. My family and I have been preparing for this moment for nearly 10 years now and we are excited to bring you the best of the best of our Polled Brahman genetics in 20 elite lots. Our breeding program is focused on raising quality Polled Brahman cattle. We are eager to share our genetics and successes with you, our fellow breeders, to promote and enhance the Brahman breed. My wife Crickett and I started England Cattle Co. in 1984, primarily raising Brahman-cross commercial cattle for the better part of 30 years. Even though we have been back in the registered Brahman business for a number of years now, as I reflect on the last decade, I realize it was not by accident but by fate. As many of you can probably attest to, once you have been a part of the Brahman industry, and even if you leave it, there is a huge chance you will return one day. As history has a way of repeating itself, that is exactly where we find ourselves today. As a young man, I was very lucky to have some of the greatest breeders in the business as mentors. Whether they knew it or not, I greatly looked up to J.A. Clifford, Carlos Guerra, Jerry Simon, The Garcia Families and the breeders that made up the Spirit of ‘46 Sales. Not to mention Pete Abrigo, my longtime AG teacher and
mentor, as well as present day visionaries in the breed like Sam Duplantis, Popo Bazan, Louie Flores, Dr. Richard Forgason and the list goes on and on. The breeding programs of the breeders I mentioned above have a few things in common: fertility, docility and mothering ability as well as an importance placed on phenotype. These characteristics are ones that they strive to breed for and it is because of their influence that we place importance on these attributes in our own herd. Our genetic pool consists of bloodlines from some of the leaders in the industry and I believe we are producing what has been in the most demand, “The Cowman’s Kind” — cattle that are functional, productive and, as an added bonus, Polled. Over the years, our family has traveled worldwide promoting the Brahman breed, giving us the opportunity to meet many breeders who share our common goals. We have been fortunate enough to sell our genetics across the United States as well as overseas as the demand for Polled Brahmans remains strong both foreign and domestic. Here recently, Mexico opened their registry to Polled cattle and breeders are using our proven, Polled genetics to start their herds. With each calf crop, we continue to produce better progeny for our customers and I believe after viewing the offering laid out in this catalog, you will agree. I do want to take a moment to thank an important group of people that have made this possible, starting with my wife of 38 years, Crickett, who has been my backbone and has continued to believe in me. I want to also thank my sons Benton and Cole who for many years were the main workforce that has taken us to where we are today. Even though Cole and his wife Alyssa have chosen different career paths, their backgrounds and hearts will forever be embedded here. Benton continues to be involved in the ranch and oversees all aspects of the cattle operation. Our newest member (or soon to be) Brooke Prather, Benton’s fiancée, has taken us to a level I never dreamed of getting to but believed in her from day one. To all of my employees, I couldn’t do it without you. Most of all, I would like to personally say, “thank you” to our customers who believe in our breeding program and who continue to support us by investing in our product. I invite each of you out to our ranch for the sale and Brahman camaraderie party on March 21. I assure you, you are in for a treat whether you are a bidder, a buyer or a fellow breeder who came out to look and appreciate good cattle. We know you have many options to purchase Brahman cattle and I thank you for taking the time to review our elite offering. On behalf of my entire family, thank you for your consideration. We look forward to seeing you on sale day! Sincerely,
Cover Photo: Lot 7: ECC AX Polled Jolene 278/9 pictured as a calf with a group of our top-pedigreed cows. She represents the ultimate goal of our breeding program: using a Polled bull on horned cows to achieve first generation POLLED offspring — the best of both worlds!

Why fit in when you were
BORN TO STAND OUT?
The Future is Polled. When we reentered the registered Brahman breed nearly 10 years ago, we saw the need for a product that would save ranchers valuable time, money and resources. After much consideration and planning, we chose to focus our breeding program on Polled genetics. There are many benefits to raising Polled cattle with the main reason being eliminating the need for dehorning. On average, surgical dehorning will range in price from $75 - $150 per head depending on the area. For a 200 head cow herd, ranchers are looking at spending anywhere from $15,000 - $30,000 per year just on the procedure. We plan to change the narrative and help you retain those valuable dollars! In our experience, breeding a Polled bull to horned cows resulted in an 80% Polled or Polled-Scurred calf crop. Invest in England Cattle Co. genetics today and let us help you do the same.

A Word From Our
SALE MANAGER Dear Brahman Enthusiasts: We want to thank you for your interest in the England Cattle Co. Brahmans on the Rio Production Sale. This is a big day for the England family and their first production sale to offer the fruits of their labor of the past 10 years. It is an honor to have the opportunity to work with a family that I am fortunate to call friends. As many of you may know, Mike and his family have committed their life to the Brahman breed since making their initial purchase of registered Brahman cows in 2010. Since then, they have helped create the Rio Grande Valley Brahman Association, the Brahman Foundation, served in ABBA leadership positions, traveled the globe promoting the Brahman breed and are continuing to improve and promote Polled Brahman cattle. I have been fortunate to have worked with a number of breeders over the years in selecting and hosting production sales, but I have NEVER been turned loose to select the entire offering as I was this January in preparation for this sale. I can truly say that nothing is being held back and they are offering their best in a variety of lots. I have already and will continue to receive calls about this offering. The question is always, “Which one should I buy?” The answer is simple. If there is anything in this sale that is better than what you have at home and can help improve your program, then you need to own it. England Cattle Co. is known as a leader
Chris Shivers in the Polled Brahman Industry. With an emphasis being placed on Polled cattle globally due to special interest groups, stress free management and convenience, this sale serves as an opportunity to purchase some of the most proven cattle in the industry. I encourage you to take advantage of this investment opportunity! If you have ever been to the Rio Grande Valley, you know the hospitality that you will receive upon arrival for the sale. This special event will be held during the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show. If possible, make plans to come down on Thursday for the ABBA Approved Open Brahman Show, view the sale cattle on Friday or enjoy the many things that The Valley has to offer, and plan to attend the sale and party on Saturday. No matter if you are able to take any cattle home it is guaranteed that you will have a great time and meet a lot of great people! If there is anything that myself or The England Cattle Co. team can do to assist you, please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to seeing you on March 21! Sincerely, Chris Shivers Sale Manager

For our very first production sale, we knew we wanted to offer you our very best Polled Brahman genetics. To put together the offering laid out in the next 20+ pages, we took Chris straight to our keeper pens. You read that right, we held nothing back. It was tough and we spent many sleepless nights pondering, “Do we really want to let this one go?” In the end, looking at all the lots pulled together in this catalog, we could not be more proud of how far we have come in the last 10 years. When we flip through this catalog a few characteristics emerge—eye appealing, feminine, structurally sound, powerful, Polled and perhaps the most rewarding, uniform. All of the time, planning and elbow grease we have put into our cattle operation is laid out for you to see. To know that our cattle check all of the boxes in addition to being uniform across the board, we know we have achieved our goal of producing cattle for the cowman.

“A Female to Build a Program Around”
We knew when we planned this sale that we had to “anchor” it with a good one! The female that is likely the most popular in the breed from our program is LMC +S Polled Madonna 274/1. In 2013, we purchased Madonna in the International Brahman Sale. At 28 months of age, Madonna had six heifer calves as a result of an IVF procedure. In this group was +LMC Polled Passion 55/4 who went on to be an International Reserve Grand Champion and was recently inducted into the prestigious ABBA Register of Renown. It should also be noted that in this first calf crop and those to follow that Madonna produced a number of other show winners, donors and herd sires. Based on Madonna’s production, it should come as no surprise that she is backed by an unbelievable pedigree and performance profile. Madonna is sired by one of the breed’s foundation Polled herd sires, LMC WFF Pistolero. Her dam is a proven donor that is sired by the Vanguard Sire, (+)JDH Datapack Manso, and out of +JDH Marri Holly Manso, the 2000 National Champion and proven donor for V8 Ranch with an International Champion daughter to her credit. To further validate the predictability of this genetic mating, a flushmate brother to Madonna is LMC Polled Datapack who is a herd sire for ELC Cattle Co. It should also be noted that Madonna ranks in the top 20% of the breed for the economic traits of WW, YW, Marbling, and Ribeye Area making her more valuable as a breeding piece. If you are looking for a female to build a program around, do not miss out on this investment opportunity!

We are confident that she not only will receive her share of wins in the show ring but also has the proven breeding behind her to be a great producer. She is sired by our foundation herd sire LMC Polled Authority 115/0 and out of E3 Zulu Path 81 that we purchased from Ava Barker who has already produced two offspring on the show string. We like the cattle that will show and win but realize the importance of those that will perform in the pasture and have the pedigree to be marketable to others.

Full Sister to LMC ECC LF Polled Lolo 127/4!
Although we have owned a number of proven females the greatest one to ever wear the ECC brand is LMC ECC LF Polled Lolo 127/4. This elite female won banners at ALL of the major shows in the state of Texas. Not only was she a winner but is also a proven producer with several of her progeny currently on our show string. This young “babydoll” heifer not only shares the parentage with Lolo but also has the structure, bone, depth of body, length, thickness and eye appeal to be every bit as good as her older sister! “Red Legs” is sired by our foundation herdsire LMC Polled Authority 115/0 and out of Miss Double A 468/7 who in addition to Lolo is the dam of lots 5 and 16. In addition to her ideal phenotype and pedigree check out the performance profile of this female that ranks in the top of the breed for the essential traits of growth and carcass. We have high expectations for this female as BOTH a show heifer and future donor. Sharing our best!

We were highly impressed with the cattle in this herd due to their fertility and milking ability. We have calved these cows out three times now and have been highly impressed with the quality of the offspring when crossed on our American-bred Polled bulls. In this special offering we are offering the pick of three heifers from these Mexico-imported cows and LMC Ambassador 56/0 who is a son of the legendary Polled sire +LMC LF Ambassador 700/7.

This cross has worked extremely well for us and will soon be the foundation of the majority of our cowherd. Not only does 239/9 offer a signature pedigree but look at her amazing moderate, powerfully constructed, deep ribbed, heavy muscled and extremely eye appealing phenotype with her extreme upheadedness. She is super gentle and will make a great replacement female addition to any breeding program!

ECC Polled Rio Queen 212/9 is a 15 month old daughter of ECC El Caporal 301. If you have followed our program, you know the importance that “Cap” has played in our herd, but more importantly, the influence he has in other herds around the globe. We can’t stress enough the importance of the crossing of the lines of Pistolero and Ambassador which is represented in the pedigree of 212/9. This cross continues to be amazing and has created a strong foundation of Polled cattle. As you might expect from Caporal daughters, 212/9 is extremely growthy, long bodied, heavy structured and should be one that will be fertile based on her parentage.

A “Front Pasture” Kind of Heifer!
ECC Polled Rio Queen 266/9 (P) is a coming yearling that is “power packed” being deep ribbed, adequate in her bone work, super long and thick ended with “value added” pigmentation. Her beautiful phenotype should come as no surprise as she is sired by our proven herd sire, LMC Polled Sambo 45/0, who’s influence makes up 25% of this offering. As you have seen in his progeny, Sambo consistently sires offspring just like 266/9. Some might not be as familiar with the bottom side of this pedigree but Ms. Sunnyside 319/9 was in the first set of cows that we purchased and has done us a PHENOMENAL job with one of her daughters being retained and the rest of her offspring currently influencing other registered herds. We are offering something for everyone and we think 266/9 is certainly a “front pasture” kind of heifer that comes with the genetics to be in your herd for a long time, producing superior offspring.

The Future of our Breeding Program!
If you want to buy into the future of our program then take advantage of this opportunity! There has been a lot of interest in ECC Polled Comandante 749 and rightfully so. This National Show class winner is as impressive as they come as he is stout built, huge middled and extremely heavy muscled but yet still super athletic. Not only is he impressive “in the flesh” but also is a full brother to our premier donor, LMC ECC LF Polled Lolo 127/4, adding a proven pedigree. For those that are progressive and concerned about cattle that are born small, grow rapidly, breed earlier and have carcass value, Comandante charts in the top of the breed for these traits. We simply cannot express how excited we are about this bull and the future that we think he will play in the POLLED Brahman industry based on him combining the essential three P’s of Phenotype, Pedigree and Performance. Join us in being the FIRST to have calves by this outstanding sire! BW EPD

First Semen Offering on Ice Man!
Several years ago we saw Mr. 4F Polled Ice Man 3/6 at the International Show on our good friend Louie Flores’ show string. We were highly impressed with the amount of bone and thickness that this bull possessed. After inquiring we found out that he was sired by LMC Polled Sambo 45/0 and out of LMC LF Polled Elma 214/4. If you studied this offering and have read through our thoughts on the cattle you realize that we are extremely high on both Sambo and Elma so we were estatic when Louie gifted us 1/2 interest in this great bull that combined these proven genetics. We have already started breeding Ice Man and think that he will cross well on and complement our Authority and Ambassador 56/0 daughters due to his pedigree, build and outstanding performance that is moderate for BW and high for Growth. This will be the first public offering of semen on this sire. The genetics do not come any more proven! BW EPD

Authority Progeny are Born for the Winner’s Circle!
Our Patriarch! What do we really need to say about LMC Polled Authority 115/0 (P)? You have seen the influence that he has played in our herd as our foundation sire and he is truly the bull that we have built our program around. He has sired 91 registered calves primarily in our herd and these include show winners such as Lolo, Corinne and Comandante, numerous donors and replacement females, and a number of bulls that have been sold to registered and commercial producers. We think he is one of the best sons of the legendary polled sire +LMC LF Ambassador 700/7 and offers an ideal performance profile that verifies his ability to sire small calves at birth that grow extremely well and have above average carcass quality. We think that Authority and his progeny speak for themselves. If you are looking for the “fool proof” option that will set your program in the right direction then be the last one bidding on this five (5) straw semen package. BW EPD

Only the Second Offering of Bardia Semen in the USA! In 2016 we traveled to Australia for the World Brahman Congress. While there, we visited Eureka Creek Brahmans and saw Bardia Ambassador 170. We were highly impressed with the bull due to his structure, muscle, length, pigmentation, and overall balance. We then saw some of his progeny at the show and knew that even though we had a heavy influence of his sire in our program Bardia could still play a role. After receiving the semen in the USA, Bardia was named the 2017 Australian Brahman Sire of the Year and then in 2018 sired the BEEF Week Champion Female. We have used Bardia on a limited basis due to our heavy Ambassador influence but several of his offspring have made our showstring and overall have exceeded our expectations. You can view lot 5 in this sale to see the type cattle that he is siring. This is only the second time that this semen has been sold in the USA!
