History of Grau Ranch

The Grau ranching operation of Grady, New Mexico began 1907 when early pioneer C.A. Grau migrated there to the plains of eastern New Mexico in a covered wagon. In 1965 a complete change in the program was made with the introduction of Charolais, and one of the most progressive performance programs of the breed was started. Since that time Grau Charolais has gained nation-wide recognition for an outstanding performance-oriented breeding program by using selected genetics. Combined management of A.L. Grau and his sons Wesley and Lane have supplied thousands of bulls and heifers to progressive minded stockmen all over the North America.

In the beginning, "GCR Supreme 141'' 's progeny led the New Mexico Beef Cattle Performance Association Bull test, at Tucumcari, 7 years in a row. His influence continues to set performance standards all over America. Our present genetic-base is mainly supreme bloodlines, outcrossed with a few of the best polled performance sires in America.
