TRIPLE JR CATTLE COMPANY
Triple JR Cattle Company was established in 2002 and is headquartered in Muldoon, Texas between Schulenburg and La Grange. It grew out of the dream of two best friends, Josh Leamons and Chip Gibson, to go into the cattle business together after graduating from college.
They did all of the research on the industry, found the right people to advise them and convinced their dads that the Red Brangus Breed was the right business to get into. Then they took Jim and Roy to Weimar, Texas to meet a man named Don Cox and a ranch manager named Jose. It’s all history now!
Don encouraged them to buy a small herd of half-blood cows from him that he had purchased from Laura Hastedt, after the death of her husband. Along with the cows, they also purchased a quarter-blood bull named CX Changer from Don.
One of those females, Miss Hastedt 540, had been pastured with CX Paymaster. Yes, we were blessed! We were only beginning to understand the importance of superior genetics when she had our first bull calf …TJR Rojo Grande 540/N. He went on to become the 2006 Reserve Grand Champion of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and continues to produce some of our top bull calves and females today.
