FOR OVER 70 YEARS" (Click here to read complete article in CATTLE TODAY) "Raising cattle is a family tradition for Nunley Brothers and today the large cow-calf operation continues to thrive across Texas. Nunley Brothers run cattle on ranches spanning from South Texas, to the Texas Hill Country, over to the Trans Pecos area around Alpine, Texas and then on the South Plains, near Lubbock. This large cow-calf operation is headquartered at The Coyote, near Sabinal, Texas and 70 miles southwest of San Antonio. You'll find Santa Gertrudis genetics working at all locations for the brothers. “We don't use the Santa Gertrudis cow because we love her or want to pet her -- we use her in our operation because she maximizes profit unlike any other. If there was something better we would use it,” explains co-owner, Richard Nunley. The dark, cherry red, cattle have been part of the Nunley family operation since the early 1950's and brothers Richard and Bob are proud to continue using her and many of the practices and values learned from their grandfather, Red Nunley. Red Nunley, a legendary Texas cattleman, started ranching in the Sabinal area about 70 years ago. He started with a small steer operation and built one of the largest cow-calf operations in the state and country. In the early 1950's, he formed a partnership with Dolph Briscoe, Sr. and at that time the Santa Gertrudis breed was introduced into the herd. This partnership continued with their grandfather and Dolph Briscoe, Jr. and then with Richard and Bob themselves into the late 1990's. Today the brothers run the operation under Nunley Brothers, a partnership that was actually formed under the guidance of their father and grandfather in 1972, while they were just teenagers."
