Welcome to the ROCKING LAZY B RANCH, home of BUCKNER POLLED BEEFMASTERS.

We are located in Central TEXAS, 45 miles east of Waco, 1/2 way between I-35 & I- 45, in south Limestone Co., at 1829 FM 1246 W, which is west of Thornton, Tx. 76687 between SH 14 and almost to FM 147. Give us a call and/or come by. We love to talk polled Beefmasters.

We have had our own herd since 1975. We started using a polled BEEFMASTER bull in 1976 in our commercial herd, loved the results, and soon became a pure BEEFMASTER operation. We became LIFETIME MEMBERS in 1985 and have achieved MERIT BREEDER status.

We are 100% registered, 100% Classified and all but one POLLED or POLLED/SCURRED.

The BBU field staff has U CLASSIFIED our cattle over the years and at present, we only have three U2 confirmation head and all the rest are U1. Most underline scores are U1 or U2 and only three U3 . 52% percent of the cows in service are "TYPESETTER" with several more on the way.

Our cattle have excellent pedigrees that go back to many outstanding individuals which include the following: the BBU Legacy Bull **APACHE'S HEART, AMERICAN STANDARD, ATLAS, **BLAZE, **COUNTRY WESTERN, DR. J, **LOGAN, **MEDICINE MAN, **MR. USA, **MOUNTAIN MAN, MR. UNIVERSE, **NATURAL SELECTION, P.D.Q.II, **PAINTED TEXAN, ** PAINTED TIGER, **PARADIGM, ** PHANTOM, **PRIME TIME, **SANDMAN, **SIR KIFFER, **SPARTACUS, BULLETPROOF, **POLLED LOGIC, ADAMS UNIQUE and many more. NOTE: The double asterisk (**) means that he is a "TYPESETTER."

Go to the " PAST HERD SIRES " page and see what we used to get here. Our herd sire at this time is the polled/scurred bull, "BPB 21/19 POLLED C LANCE" the U2/2 red son of polled "S/S POLLED CLASS" U1/2 and the polled/scurred U1/2 cow, "SWB LADY ALICE 05514. LANCE brings the genetics of "POLLED HORIZON," polled "BULLET PROOF," and "PACESETTER" polled cow "*SCHENIDER & SONS 918" to our herd. Check our HERD SIRE PAGE page for more details.

Since, we collect data required in both the BBU "WHOLE HERD REPORTING" and WEIGHTS AND MEASURES" programs. We can supply you with EPD's on our cattle and we have DNA tested our herd to improve the accuracy of the EPD's. We also use the BBU "CLASSIFICATION" program to

improve the structure of our cattle. By using these programs, we have received "MERIT BREEDER" status by BBU.

I have been a member of the BBU Seedstock Marketing / Executive Sales, Breed Improvement, Finance & Audit, Advertising & Public Relations, and Commercial Sales Committees.

We now only have one herd and our cows are exposed to our polled/scurred herd sire year round. We have cattle for sale at all times, and the selection changes regularly. Check the "Bulls for Sale" page and the "Cows & Heifers for Sale" page for current offering.

Some say that we are the go to place for "ULTRA POLLED or SUPER POLLED"" cattle and that is our goal..
