. 84S is the sire of 149U.
* 149U is the sire of Barmaid 90Z.
* Barmaid 90Z is the dam of DGG 232G.
* DGG 232G is the sire of Ruby Grace (DGG 142K).

That makes RED HILL B571 JULIAN 84S Ruby Grace’s paternal great-grandsire (three generations back on her sire’s side).

This is significant because 84S was a highly influential Red Hill sire. Through his son 149U and granddaughter Barmaid 90Z, his maternal traits were carried into Ruby Grace. Dan Glenn then crossed those Red Hill genetics with his own proven DGG cow family (DGGR2D and DGG 41B), giving Ruby Grace a blend of elite Red Hill maternal genetics and cattle already proven in Deep Grass Graziers’ forage-based program.

Ranch & Life: Count the Cost

Ranch life teaches us to count the cost.

Before we buy cattle, build fence, plant forage, or grow the herd, we need to understand what it will take to finish what we start.

Jesus said the same thing about following Him. His invitation is simple: “Follow Me.” But discipleship means giving Him authority over our whole life—our family, work, money, plans, land, and cattle.

Putting Bowie Road Cattle under Jesus does not mean giving up the ranch. It means caring for it as something God has trusted us with.

I still work, plan, breed cattle, and make decisions—but I must remember that I cannot control every outcome.

My prayer is:

Lord, my ranch and my life belong to You. Give me wisdom to care for what You have given me. Keep pride, fear, and greed from controlling my decisions. Help me follow You, even when it costs me something.

Luke 14:28:

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?”

Jesus comes first.

News for Beef producers from BRC

Right now (late July 2026), the biggest piece of cattle industry news is fresh off the press from the USDA’s July 1 Cattle Inventory and Cattle on Feed reports, which dropped just yesterday.
The main talking points hitting the wires across the major ag networks include:

1. The Expansion Clock is Ticking (Replacement Heifers Up):
The report confirmed that beef replacement heifers are up 3% from a year ago (reaching 3.80 million head). This is the clearest hard evidence yet that producers are officially starting to hold back females to begin rebuilding herds.
2. The 2026 Calf Crop is Still Shrinking:
Even though expansion is starting, the total estimated 2026 U.S. calf crop is projected at 32.5 million head, down 2% from last year. Because ranchers are holding back heifers instead of selling them, the immediate feeder pipeline remains tight.
3. Total Inventory & Feedlot Numbers:
Total U.S. cattle and calves ticked up slightly to 94.2 million head (up fractionally from 94.0 million last year), while total cattle on feed sat at 13.2 million head (up 2%). Meanwhile, the actual beef cow inventory sits at 28.5 million head, down 1% from a year ago, showing that while the multi-year liquidation phase is trying to turn the corner, the national herd is still historically lean.
This report is creating a lot of discussion among producers because it highlights the exact tug-of-war currently shaping the market: long-term herd rebuilding has officially started, but near-term supplies remain restricted, keeping a very solid floor under the market.

One thing I really like about Duke is his REA (Ribeye Area) DNA score of 6. I’m not trying to breed extreme, feedlot-type cattle with a huge amount of muscle. My goal is moderate, efficient cattle that perform on grass.

A score of 6 tells me Duke has plenty of natural muscling without sacrificing the traits that matter most to me—calving ease, fertility, longevity, and forage efficiency.

That’s the kind of balance I’m after at Bowie Road Cattle. Cattle that breed back every year, stay productive for a long time, raise a good calf, and still put quality beef on the rail. I believe that’s what profitable, low-input cattle should look like! AgBoost

Rocky @ 3 Months

At just 3 months of age, Rocky (4324M) is showing an outstanding phenotype with exceptional depth of body, a wide and well-muscled hindquarter, a level topline, strong feet and legs, and excellent overall balance. He has a moderate frame, smooth shoulder, deep heart girth, and plenty of natural capacity—traits that are highly desirable in a grass-based beef program. His slick, heat-tolerant hair coat, masculine head, broad muzzle, and calm disposition further enhance his appeal. While still very young and with plenty of growing left to do, Rocky already displays the structural correctness, thickness, and functional build that suggest the potential to develop into an efficient, easy-fleshing, forage-adapted herd sire with excellent longevity.
