Tuff It Out, Headed Out

DCC Ranch eNews #110, 7-22-2017

When Scott Hughes arrives at the ranch, and says he is hunting a special bull, it is a long drawn out deal. He wanted to see every adult herd sire, the cow herd, different aged young bulls and their sisters and brothers. Scott is not a new comer to the Texas Longhorn business and has traveled the nation and kicked tires at a lot of ranches. After looking all over the Appalachian pastures he said he would be back.  And he did. He came a second time after the bulls had developed a few months and looked some more.

Scott Hughes, of White Pines Ranch, Rutherfordton, NC, has owned a lot of good cattle. He has a quick eye and a quick wit. At Dickinson Cattle Co we were honored that he selected our young bull Tuff It Out to purchase. We are more honored that he has searched the country-side for months for the right bull, and we were able to provide him.

Tuff It Out is a son of Cowboy Tuff Chex out of Winning Smile by Winchester who is out of a Fielder daughter.

Thank you, Scott.
