Beginning
as part of the Creek Nation the Roy Fisher Ranch was originally
broken up into 160 acre allotments. In the late 1930's the reassembling
into a ranch began.
There were 4,000 acres in the ranch in 1954 when Fisher took over
the operation. Today the ranch totals more than 25,000 acres. The
Roy Fisher Ranch is a family operation with four sons and a daughter,
all are still involved in today's operation.
The breeding program
started in 1949. One of our original brood mares was Trixie
Blake 1207, daughter of Bert 227. She produced 3 A2HA Champions: Bert
Leo, A2HA Champion Cutting and Roping; Star Poco, A2HA Champion
Roping 1961; Double Bert Leo, Oklahoma State Champion Barrel
Racing, 1966. A large number of American top RCA & IRA
Cowboys and Cowgirls have ridden our horses to the pay windows
of the Nation's Rodeos.
A commercial Angus
cow herd numbers around 1,500 and Hereford and Charolais bulls
are used in their crossbreeding program. Approximately
3,000 yearlings are grazed annually and ownership of the cattle
are maintained through the feedlot until slaughter.
The Fisher Ranch has
been active with the OCA for 45 years and are active in NCA plus
the McIntosh County Cattlemen's Association. |
