Our Story
The name comes from Woman Hollering Creek on I-10 west, which the family passed on the way to the San Antonio Stock Show. Ricky told Betty that was what they should call the ranch, and anyone who knows Betty understands why.
Betty met the Santa Gertrudis breed in 1980 while working show strings at LaRue's Cattle Service through a Texas A&M co-op program. She earned her Animal Science degree at A&M in 1981 and started buying Santa Gertrudis of her own in 1982.
Ricky and Betty McCormick married in 1989 and raised two daughters, Candice and Emma. Today the family runs registered Santa Gertrudis, Star 5 and commercial cattle west of Brookshire, Texas, on land that has been in Betty's father's family for over 100 years.
