RANCH HISTORY

Brian and Richard Poland are third-generation ranchers in south-central Kansas. They began the Angus herd in 1981 with the purchase of 10 high performing females from Arlos Rusk and the Rusk Ranch. The following high performing bulls have been used to produce the 150 cows that now make up the Poland Angus Ranch herd:

• QLC Target
• Pine Drive Big Sky
• QAS Traveler 23-4
• Tehama Bando 155
• Hoff Hi Spade SC 491
• GDAR Rito 596 LT
• Scotch Cap
• Finks 5522-6148

Poland Angus Ranch continues to use bulls that excel in improving carcass marbling and rib eye area with the utilization of the breed leaders:

• B/R New Design 036
• B/R New Design 323
• VDAR Lucys Boy
• TC Stockman 365

Poland Angus Ranch is involved in their local community in a number of ways. Youth programs are supported through premiums at local county fairs, sponsoring summer softball and baseball teams and by hosting a Judging contest at the Ranch each year. The judging contest consists of eight classes of breeding cattle. Each class has complete EPDs and performance data, along with a scenario for each class to assist the contestants in selecting animals that will best fulfill the requirements of the operator.
