COMMAND EXCELLENCE FROM THE Ring to the Rail. Genetics that
FIRST BRAHMANS
Nearly 75 years ago, Crickett’s grandfather C.W. Schwarz, purchased a registered Brahman bull and a small herd of cows from J.D. Hudgins
CLIFFORD RANCH
In high school Mike took a job with the historic Clifford Ranch and was promoted to ranch manager at just 17 years old, managing an elite herd of Red Brahmans
ENGLAND FARMS AND CATTLE
When Clifford Ranch dispersed in 1984, Mike and Crickett moved home to Mercedes. Together they established England Farms and Cattle in 1984 raising row crops and Brahman-influenced commercial cattle.
“WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH JUST ONE?”
The famous last words Benton said to Mike when he purchased LMC Polled Cricket 23/1 from Carlos Guerra in 2011
HORNED COW BASE
10+ years ago, the options for Polled cattle, especially females, were very limited. This led us to invest in a solid foundation of horned cows to breed to Polled bulls to produce our own.
POLLED MADONNA
Purchased +LMC +S Polled Madonna 274/1 in the 2013 International Brahman Sale, who would later achieve Register of Renown and eclipse sales of $500K.
A rich history
SCHWARZ QUALITY EGGS
The second generation, Carroll Lloyd Schwarz, seated on a tractor in front of the red barn that houses our show cattle today. In addition to raising cattle, the Schwarz family raised laying hens until 1973.
IT ALL STARTED AT THE SALE BARN
Mike and Crickett meet while working for the local sale barn and marry in 1982
COMMERCIAL BRAHMAN HERD
In the early 2000s, our cattle program focused on raising F1s by breeding Hereford, Angus and Simmental bulls to commercial Brahman cows
FIRST HERD BULL PURCHASE
Purchased LMC Polled Authority 115/0 in 2011. He would later produce two herd sires and countless foundation females for our herd.
THE GROWING YEARS: 2011-2013
From day one, our mission has been to produce cattle that are “Quality First, Polled Second.” The majority of the foundation females in our herd were purchased from the respected horned herds of D Bar Ranch, E3 Brahman Ranch and Sunnyside Ranch.
SHERRI K
The first calf to wear the Bar E brand, and arguably one of the most influential females in our herd. Last year, at 12 years old, her naturalborn daughter sold halfinterest for $22K.
RIO GRANDE VALLEY BRAHMAN AND F1 ASSOC.
Hosted our first field day in 2013. Mike is a founding member of the RGVBA and Past President.
A HOUSTON TO REMEMBER
2017 was an incredible International Show for our family. We left Houston with 2 Res. Division wins and Mike was elected to serve as a Director for Area 4. 2026 will mark 9 years of service to ABBA
FIRST ANNUAL PRODUCTION SALE
In 2020, just 7 years into active production, we hosted our first sale with straight ECC genetics. To date, the sale is the largest offering of Polled Brahman cattle in the USA and held in May.
PRIME GRADING BRAHMAN STEER
In 2024, we harvested a PRIME grading 100% Brahman steer sired by a Caporal son, ECC Polled Rio King 104/8.
2024 ABBA BULL GAIN TEST HIGH
INDEXING BULL
Youngest bull in the test to pass a fertility test at 14 months.
CAPORAL
The bull that put us on the map globally. Sire of over 200 USA progeny with international progeny in Australia, Africa and Mexico. The first Polled Brahman bull in the world to collect for Sexed Female Semen.
THE BRAHMAN FOUNDATION
Founded in 2015 to raise funds for scholarships and leadership camps for the youth of the Brahman breed. Mike is a founding member and Benton currently sits on the board.
2018 RGVBA BULL GAIN TEST CHAMPION BRAHMAN
Committed to performance, we are longtime participants in the RGVBA Bull Gain Test and ABBA Bull Gain Tests. You cannot improve what you do not measure.

YOUR BREEDING PROGRAM
DESERVES THAT EXCEL IN:
Sires
BREED CHARACTER
The ideal Brahman is scored in four categories: General Appearance, Body Conformation, Breed and Sex Characteristics, and Temperament.
DOCILITY
An indicator of the natural demeanor of the bull and his progeny. Key factors of evaluation include: temperament, disposition and ability to work with ease.
CARCASS QUALITY
An evaluation of the bulls carcass quality EPDs including TEND, CW, REA, MB and FT. Added evaluations included from progeny processed through our beef program.
CALVING EASE
Predicts how easily a sire’s calf will be born without assistance. This is mostly used to determine if a bull is safe to be mated with heifers.
MATERNAL ABILITY
Calves get up and nurse without assistance. Daughters have great udders with four working quarters and small teats. Calves are born small and wean heavy.
BIRTH WEIGHT
The size of a calf at birth. Our ideal birth weight sits between 70-75 pounds. Sire’s actual birth weight is factored into this equation along with the avg. weight of his calves.
Use this rating system to see how our bulls measure up:
WHOLE HERD DNA Verified
We stand by our product so you can buy with confidence. All breeding sires, dams and calves born at ECC, beginning with our 2025 calf crop, have a Zoetis HD50K Genotype on file with ABBA. This verifies parentage, confirms horn/poll status and provides genomically-enhanced EPDs for each animal.
