Rick Hanson established Hanson Cattle Company in 1975 as a typical cattle operation. Ten years later Hanson Cattle Co. started focusing on roping cattle. Starting with only 10 head of cattle Hanson Cattle began producing Jackpot ropings and increasing his herd to accomodate the growth. In 1988 Hanson Cattle stopped producing ropings and focused on leasing cattle to producers as well as to cowboys who wanted to hone their skills and keep in practice. Today Hanson Cattle Co. has grown to ranches in Taylor and Shackelford and Throckmorton Counties of Texas.

Hanson Cattle uses only Corriente cattle in its operation. Experience has proven that the Corriente cattle have the right temperament for rodeo events and they are extremely durable. The cattle are brought to Hanson Cattles 15,000 acre ranch, vaccinated and dewormed, placed on feed and observed to insure that they are healthy and ready to use. The health program used by Hanson Cattle has proven to help provide healthier, easier keeping cattle for their customers.

When cattle are returned off of a lease they are once again dewormed and given vitamins and turned out to pasture to allow them ample time to freshen up for future customers. Hanson Cattle classifies their cattle as Fresh cattle, which are the rodeo caliber cattle, and practice cattle, which are more suited to be used by cowboys for practice or horse training.

Our beliefs in hard work, honesty and giving our customers the very best for their money, are the cornerstones that Hanson Cattle Company is built on.
