La Ventana Neighbors
You may have noticed we currently have animals residing in both the east and west pastures. Last week we separated the herd with females and calves in the west pasture and males along with a few females in the east pasture for selective breeding purposes.
The herd is doing well. We welcomed six healthy calves this spring, three bulls and three heifers and expect a few more before the end of the year. To support our breeding goals, we regularly sell animals and introduce new ones to strengthen the bloodline and improve genetics.

There has been recent news about the New World Screwworm becoming more prevalent in Texas. We are working in partnership with our veterinarian and have a plan in place for precautionary measures. We have hands on our animals daily and are confident to stay ahead of this threat.
If you see anything concerning or have any questions, please reach out to Mike Evans, Sonya Engelke or Travis Engelke.
As always, thank you for your support.
