Along the outskirts of the South Canadian river resides the Dougherty Angus Ranch. This well-known homestead of the Dougherty Family stretches back five generations of farmers and ranchers. Dolan Dougherty, the most recent heir to carry on the legacy, said, “We pride ourselves on bringing our forefathers into the next century, by holding onto their principles, but keeping up with the latest tools for ranching.” Mr.Dougherty works on developing exceptional bloodlines that have good temperaments, fast growth, and quality beef. The majority of his cattle are artificially inseminated, and they are rigorously tested for superior quality. “You can walk into our fields, and instantly see why our name has been around so long.” Dolan Dougherty plans to continue the ranching operation with his wife Tara, and their son Pierce.
