Fork is a family-owned and run ranch that is dedicated to raising
cattle the excel in performance as well as keeping maternal traits
in tact that utilize the vast resources for maximum efficiencies
adding more to everyone’s bottom line.
Henry
and Eleanor Wilson along with their daughter Roseann run 500 purebred
and commercial cows on their 10,000-acre farm and ranch. The Purebred
Charolais herd was started 17years ago. Henry went out and bought
some very high-powered cows to build the foundation that the herd
is derived from today. 6 years ago, Henry saw the potential of
complimenting the Charolais herd with a registered Red Angus herd.
Through the acquisition of some of the foundation cows in the
Panhandle Cattle Co herd and embryo transfer, the herd became
a reality. Angus hybrid cows makeup the majority of the commercial
herd that produced cattle that we send to the feedlot for carcass
testing as well as the occasional club calf.
