During one of my very first visits to the ranch when my now-husband, Benton, and I were dating, Mike pulled out one of the first “The Spirit of ‘46” Sale catalogs and explained to me the history between those pages. At that point, it quickly became clear to me that his time at Clifford Ranch greatly impacted his decision to start his
Brahman enthusiasts will likely remember the Clifford family from “The Spirit of ‘46” Sales hosted annually at Clifford Ranch. Alongside fellow breeders Eligio Garcia, Inc.; Estaban Garcia Jr. Ranch; La India Ranch; and Guerra Bros., known today as La Muñeca Cattle Company, the consignors brought together close to 100 head of cattle each year, making “The Spirit of ‘46” Sale one of the largest and most historic Brahman cattle sales to date. Rooted in Brahman camaraderie, “The Spirit of ‘46” Sales were always geared toward fellowship, and community over competition, with my in-laws recalling many fond memories of attending the sales while they were dating more than 40 years ago.
The first cow to carry the name, Ms ECC Rio Queen 454 (S), set the bar high for her successors. Purchased as a show heifer by John Paul Rodriguez, 454 won many championship titles, including Reserve Senior Champion at the San Antonio Junior Show in 2016. Fast forward, and “ECC Rio Queens” continue to excel in the breed, today. Most recently, ECC Polled Rio Queen 483/0 (P), purchased by Holley Cattle Company in our 2021 spring sale, was named Reserve Intermediate Champion Grey Brahman Female at the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show earlier this year.
Sadly, Clifford Ranch dispersed in the early 1980s, shortly after Mr. Clifford’s passing. At the time, Mike and my mother-in-law, Crickett, were newlyweds in their 20s and were faced with a crossroads — to go out and raise cattle on their own, or leave that life behind. This sudden life change, and a desire to build a legacy for their future sons, Benton and Cole, launched the foundation for England Cattle Company, LLC as we know it, today.
“When it came time for Mike and Benton to establish a naming system for our own replacement females and herd sires, it only felt natural to honor the legacy of Mr. Clifford by including ‘Rio Queen’ and ‘Rio King’ in their name.”
MORE THAN A NAME, IS AN ODE TO OUR HERITAGE.
In flipping through Mr. Clifford’s old sale catalogs, a theme is consistent on every consignment — “Rio Red Queen” and “Rio Red King” — names given to cows and bulls produced on the Clifford Ranch. When it came time for Mike and Benton to establish a naming system for our own replacement females and herd sires, it only felt natural to honor the legacy of Mr. Clifford by including “Rio Queen” and “Rio King” in their name.
Rio Queen
“If you are good to these cattle, they will be good to you,” a motto J.A. “Alton” Clifford of Mercedes, Texas lived by. Mr. Clifford was not only one of the most prominent Red Brahman Breeders of the 1970s, but also a beloved mentor to my father-in-law, Michael England. At just 17 years old, Mike managed the Clifford Ranch cow herd, working alongside Alton’s son Jimmy, and taking on a responsibility of caring for an operation whose production began in 1945.
Show ring success aside, an England Cattle Co. “Rio Queen” is more valuable to us based on her performance and merits in the pasture. To date, we have retained more than 40 females that carry the name based on their superior phenotype and genotype. These females are backed by a solid foundation of breeding practices passed down from Mr. Clifford to my father-in-law, to my husband, and have helped us achieve recognition as the largest breeder of Polled Brahman Cattle in the USA, since 2017.
On behalf of my family, we invite you to view the offering included in these pages — a true representation of our heritage, and a culmination of our most proven genetics. We sincerely appreciate your interest in our breeding program, and we look forward to seeing you online, Sept. 28-29, on Premier Livestock Auctions.

If you are looking for a Polled heifer that has the phenotype to be a big time show winner and the pedigree and performance to be an influential breeding piece, then mark ECC LG Polled Rio Queen 696/2 as a must have! The sire to this heavy-structured, deep-ribbed, long-bodied, and ultra-feminine female is ECC Polled Chief 719 (P), who results from two of our most proven animals: LMC Polled Sambo 45/0 and D Bar Miss 768/1. The dam to this phenomenal female is a cow that we imported from Mexico that has calved each year and combines the top genetics from many prominent American breeders including V8 Ranch, Kallion Farms, Double J Ranch and K-Bar Farms. To complete this impressive package, 696/2 is performance packed charting positive for BW EPD, and ranking in the Top 3% of the breed for WW, Top 10% for YW, and Top 2% for Milk. We have been breeding Polled Brahman cattle for more than 12 years and think that this female ranks in the top few of the best ones that we have ever raised!

“WOW!” is the first thing that people say when they see ECC LG Polled Rio Queen 686/2. We love the heavy structure, depth of rib, length, levelness, femininity and breed character that she offers. The sire to this female is ECC AX Polled Rio King 620 (P) who is our most performance-oriented herd sire, who also produced one of the featured show heifers in our spring sale earlier this year that was purchased by Payton Tullis. The dam to 686/2 is a cross of our herd sire ECC Mr. Creed 507 (S), who is a +Mr. V8 212/3 (P) son, and a cow we imported from the historic Rancho Meba Pavitos herd in Mexico. The cross of 507 on the Meba cows has been a proven cross with many of them making our production sales. If you need to add the valuable traits of Milk, Tenderness and Marbling, 686/2 ranks in the top of the breed, further adding value as a future breeding piece.

ECC Polled Rio Queen 688/2 (P) is one of our favorites due to her TOTALITY! This female is the combination heifer in the sale as she is ample in her bone structure and depth of side, level on her topline, and heavy muscled. The sire to 688/2 is ECC El Caporal 301 who we showed with great success and has been one of the most influential sires in our program and the breed with close to 170 registrations. She is out of ECC Mrs. Ava 526 (P) who is by the proven and popular herd sire, LMC Polled Madison 133/0 (P), and out of a cow bred by Mrs. Ava Barker. As you might expect with +Cross Fire and Madison in the pedigree, 688/2 is extreme in her Marbling EPD, ranking in the Top 10% of the breed. There is a variety of cattle in this sale to meet everyone’s needs but for us we think there is a lot of all-around value in this female.
This March baby is really something special! Of course, you must appreciate ECC K-K Polled Rio Queen 695/2 for her attractive build, but the students of the breed will quickly realize that she is backed by some of our most proven genetics. Her dam is ECC Pistol Annie 510 (P) who also produced the lead off replacement heifer in our spring sale that was purchased by Sandglass Ranch. Pistol Annie results from the crossing of our foundation herd sire LMC Polled Authority 115/0 (P) and one of our top donors, D Bar Miss 816/1, who is also the dam of ECC Polled Cajun Queen 281/9 (P) who won many championships in the show ring for Tanna Trapp. The sire of 695/2 is one of our young herd sires, ECC Polled Rio King 104/8 (P), who combines our former show bull, and now proven herd sire, ECC El Caporal 301 with the great ECC Sherri K Crickett 302 who has 19 progeny to her credit.

One of the keys to our success has always been combining proven genetics lines. After seeing the successful influence of +Cross Fire 02/2 in our herd, which produced ECC El Caporal 301, we took the opportunity to purchase some direct daughters of this sire to combine with our Polled herd sires with one of the daughters we purchased being the dam to ECC Polled Rio Queen 699/2 (P). The dam to 699/2 is not only by the Register of Renown herd sire +Cross Fire, but also incorporates the Vanguard Sire (+)JDH Mr. Charley Manso with the 2001 International Champion, +Miss V8 780/5. We elaborate on the dam side of this pedigree as you likely are already aware of the sire’s influence as he was a National Show Class Winner, a full brother to the many-time winner, and our premier donor, LMC ECC LF Polled Lolo 127/4, a maternal half-brother to ECC Polled Maverick 302/9, and one of our top young herd sires. As you might expect from such a proven pedigree, 699/2 ranks in the Top 1/4 of the breed for Growth indicators, Top 40% for Ribeye Area, and Top 15% for Marbling. Although we love the combination of bone, body and femininity in this show prospect, we think her true value will be as an influential breeding piece due to the essentials of

In every sale there is one that you feel you should keep. However, we commit to sharing our best and that is the ONLY reason that we are offering ECC K-K Polled Rio Queen 642/1 in this elite offering. The first thing that stands out with this female is her superior build as she is big bodied, heavy boned, long, level and extremely extended out of her front end. This phenomenal female is sired by ECC Polled Comandante 749 (P) who was a National Show Class Winner and is now one of our most proven herd sires. Not only is Comandante an impressive bull “in the flesh” but he is also a full brother to LMC ECC LF Polled Lolo 127/4 who is our winningest show cow and now one of our top donors, as well as a maternal half-brother to the popular ECC Polled Maverick 302/9.

ECC Polled Rio Queen 586/1 is a scurred female that is likely backed by the most popular genetics in the sale. She is sired by LMC ECC Polled X Factor 84/4 who has done us, and our partners, La Muneca Cattle Company and Louie Flores, a great job with show winners and sale toppers to his credit. X Factor carries the influence of +LMC LF Ambassador 700/7; the International Champion, +Miss V8 831/5; Mr. V8 301/5, who was a former show bull for Double A Ranch; and a full sister to Mr. U4 Barrett Manso 221/1.

In each sale we release a semen package on a new sire. You will want to take this opportunity to purchase the FIRST OFFERING of semen on our most-proven young sire, ECC Polled Chief 719 (P). We knew this bull was special when he was born which was validated during his successful show career. As you can see, he is complete made being moderate framed, super deep bodied, long, level and heavy muscled. The thing that we think makes Chief most special is his pedigree. He results from two of the most proven animals in our herd. His sire is LMC Polled Sambo 45/0 who ranks No. 4 in the breed for number of registered progeny and offspring, with show points accumulated validating his influence. The dam to Chief is D Bar Miss 768/1 who has also produced a previous show winner, and one of our top young donors, ECC Polled Fancy 114/8 (P). As a result of his superior pedigree, Chief is backed by a uniform genetic profile making him one of the most performance-oriented POLLED bulls in the breed. Of course, the “proof is in the pudding” and as you can see by his offspring in this sale, and those featured in the spring, Chief is siring them “right” himself herd sire. Join us in being one of the first breeders to use our most proven junior herd sire!

Mr. 4F Polled Ice Man 3/6 (P), bred by our good friends at 4F Cattle Co., is sired by LMC Polled Sambo 45/0 and out of LMC LF Polled Elma 214/4 who both rank in the Top 4 for POLLED animals with progeny registered in ABBA. When we saw Ice Man at the International Show several years ago on Louie Flores’ show string, we were highly impressed with the amount of bone, thickness and length that he possessed. If you follow our program, you know the success that we have had with both Sambo and Elma, so it only made sense to partner with Louie on this great bull. This top young sire’s offspring are all that we could have asked for as he stamps them just like he is built being growthy, big boned, long and deep bodied and heavy muscled.
