Welcome to Rocking A Ranch

Rocking A Ranch is owned by Allen and Cheryll Grainger, and their daughters and sons-in-law, Allison & Michael Nepveux and Lauren & Tino Rossi. The ranch continues a rich tradition of ranching excellence on the Mayfair Ranch in Central Texas. Over time, their herd has grown to include 150+ purebred Santa Gertrudis and 100 Santa Gertrudis Star Five Brazos Composite, a breed consisting of ½ Santa Gertrudis and ¼ each of Hereford and Gelbvieh, females.

In addition to raising great cattle, the family has been active in Santa Gertrudis Breeders International, and both Allen and Cheryll previously served on the SGBI Board of Directors. Allen is a former chairman of both the National Santa Gertrudis Youth Foundation and the Santa Gertrudis Foundation. At the same time, Cheryll was Vice-President of Marketing & Promotions, as well as a member of Youth Activities. Both Allen and Cheryll have served on the Mid-Coast Santa Gertrudis board in various capacities, along with both being past Presidents.

Both Allison and Lauren are past directors of The National Junior Santa Gertrudis Association while each also serving as Secretary during their terms. Today, their children, Claire, Lucca, and Leo are junior members and the 5th generation of the family to be involved in the Santa Gertrudis breed.

Rocking A is committed to breeding top-tier cattle that are performance-driven, and their selection fits the needs of purebred and commercial breeders alike.
