Our Ranch We raise Australian Shepherds on a working ranch in Wise County, Texas. Our ranch is not big, so we choose quality over quantity in our livestock. In addition to Aussies, we raise Angus / Hereford cross cattle and cutting horses. You can click on each picture to find out more Hilltop Ranch Cattle Cutting Horses

Hilltop Ranch Hilltop Ranch is located in Wise County about 10 miles east of Decatur, TX. We moved to the ranch in 2007 and are still working to improve the ranch and our stock. We are also establishing peach orchards.

Cattle We raise Angus / Hereford cross cattle; which are often known as “Black Baldies” because of their white faces. This cross combines the favored Angus beef characteristics with the quiet disposition of Herefords.

Cutting Horses Millenium Man – who we call “Buddy” – is our two year old prospect currently in training. Buddy has been under saddle since January and on cattle since March.

Our Dogs We have standard Australian Shepherds and breed for good working characteristics; which we believe also produces good family dogs. Our dogs are all “part of the family”, even if they have a job on the ranch.
