For over thirty yea-
rs the Fellraths ha-
ve been involved in
the breeding and sel-

Santa Gertrudis catt-
le. To the Wagon Whe-

brought their first
bulls in 1944, having
purchased them from
the King Ranch. The

females from the late
Dr. J. K. Northway.
The Fellraths are
charter members of
the Santa Gertrudis

nal with herd number
94. In addition,
they were among the
