I heard a rumor that Dreamcatcher is done. Donors sold to Gardiner, everything else sold. Any truth to this?

Are you asking about Dreamcatcher Ranch Of San Marcos Tx. ?

 

[Cormac]

Yes, Cowboy43. I know the website says nothing. But...was told by a reliable sounce. Just curious as I consider them a fairly big player in TX.

I just called someone he said it has already happened and the owner is moving to the Dallas area, he did not know if he will move his operation up their or not, when something like this happens their is always a lot of different stories going around.

I'm watching this thread with interest. I would be surprised if they are getting out. Ill ask the regional manager.

I've been told by a reliable source from within the association that they are either going out or have allready sold out. My assumtion is that the rumors are true. Since the Meadors started, they have nearly exclusivley followed the Gardiner program. They believed in and relied heavily on gardiners power in the market place. Recent changes as in regards to Genetic defects and the economy have all but taken the really big money out of programs such as these. From what little I know about the Meadors, they got into the business beacuse it was enjoyable, and at the time there was potential to make a good profit. I think that for their program the "big" profit potential is now gone. That along with age can take the fun out really quick. Also as far as I can tell the kids have never really been into it. So there was never much chance of it being sent to the next generation.

I don't think they ever had a big Angus herd. Their program was to flush a few cows and put the embryos in commercial cattle. It should have been pretty easy to sell out.

From what I know they sold everything they could back to Gardiner and may be keeping some of their commercial recips and running a commercial herd.

I could have sworn they bought some Red Angus females at the R.A. Brown sale this Fall.
