| The Batson Family in Wiggins, Mississippi has been involved in the cattle business since the 1850's. For over 4 generations the family has been breeding quality cattle on the same ranch. |

|
In the 1960's ABC Cattle Company, owned and operated by Archie and Sue Batson with their children Kim, Shep, and Brandy, was breeding primarily English Bred cattle with Brahman Bulls. Archie purchased an unregistered polled Brahman bull. The progeny from horned cattle resulted in polled offspring.
In the early 1970's, the Batson Family started the hunt for polled genetics in the Brahman breed. They started their herd with registered horned Brahman cattle. In 1974, Archie acquired the first registered polled Brahman cows from Mr. "Geech" Partin of Heart Bar Ranch in Florida.

| These twelve cows were bred to registered horned Brahman Bulls. In 1975, he purchased two registered Brahman heifers and two registered Brahman bull calves from JC Ranch in Texas. In 1978, Archie obtained the registered polled Brahman Bull, LH 3, from Mr. Leslie Handlon of LH Ranch in California. These acquisitions laid the solid foundation for their registered polled Brahman herd today. |

|
| In the 1980's, Archie and Sue Batson maintained the registered horned Brahman cattle while allowing the children to operate the registered Brahman polled cattle under the brand KBS. It was during this time that the overall quality of the herd was improved through the application of solid horned genetics. LH 3 was the last outside polled genetics introduced into the herd until 2001. |

In 2001, Shep and Tracey Batson restructured the registered polled Brahman cattle herd as Rocking B Cattle Ranch. With the purchase of a registered polled Brahman bull, JME Mr. Esto 28/8 from Mr. J.M. Edwards, Jr. of Edwards Brahmans in Florida, they revolutionized the polled Brahman business as this bull appears to be homozygous. JME Mr. Esto 28/8 has over sixty progeny from registered horned Brahman Cattle with
100% POLLED RESULTS! |
|
In 2004, Rocking B Cattle formed a partnership with Mr. Rick Carter of Black Jack Ranch in Mississippi to acquire ten J.D. Hudgins heifers. The results of this cross with JME Mr. Esto 28/8 are outstanding and 100% Polled.
Rocking B Cattle is committed to produce top-quality polled genetics
through the continued cultivation of their breeding program.
