Go Rangers! Go Beef!

Hi Nolan Ryan Fans!

This is Charlie Bradbury, CEO of Nolan Ryan's All-Natural Beef. We are thrilled with the success of Nolan and the entire Texas Rangers organization! I've known Nolan for 30 years, and I have to say, I haven't seen him this excited since he bought his first cattle ranch!

The Rangers success is a testament to the standard of excellence that Nolan sets for himself and his organization. It's the same standard that's applied to the hand-selected steaks and all the beef that bears Nolan's name. As a rancher, he really knows how to produce quailty beef and the selection process that creates a great steak-eating experience.

We're glad so many consumers are pleased with the beef products we sell. We're always excited when we hear from consumers about how much they love steaks from Nolan Ryan's All-Natural Beef. Just so you know, when a consumer contacts us through our website, those emails come to me. In fact people are often surprised when they get a response from the CEO. So if you have a question about Nolan's other passion, beef, just let us know by email or on Facebook.

So when I'm watching the game tonight, I'll be eating the "Official Beef of the Texas Rangers" from Nolan Ryan's All-Natural Beef. Our team will be cheering on the Rangers and Nolan tonight and throughout the series! Hope you will too!

Go Rangers!

Charlie Bradbury

We are so thrilled with how the team has done this year! A big congratulations to the Texas Rangers and all their fans! Please continue to support the Rangers and cheer them on!

What Has the Ryan Family Been Up to in 2010?

Ruth and I are spending lots of time in the DFW Metroplex where I'm president and now an owner of the Texas Rangers.

Reid and Reese stay busy with the Ryans’ minor league baseball operations in Round Rock and Corpus Christi. Recently, the Round Rock Express became affiliated with the Texas Rangers in a reunion of sorts of our family. They also run the Central Texas franchise for The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and recently opened their fifth store in Austin.

Wendy, her husband and 2-year-old son live in Amarillo. They are involved in her husband’s family ranching operation near Palo Duro Canyon.

Our children’s time is challenged just like mine. So when it comes to ranching it’s pretty much myself and the employees that I have.

What else is new in 2010?

The severe drought of 2009 was really hard on us. But the spring and summer were more promising as we watched our cattle find more grazing opportunities on all of our ranches.

With nature’s help, we will increase the number of cows we take care of this year, but we’ll do it from within our own operation rather than buying them. If we produce the mamas, we have better control over the type of beef we produce from our calves.

No doubt it’s a slow process. And it’s even slower because of our family’s schedule.

Nonetheless, we continue to focus on our beef operation. Recently we sold our San Angelo, Texas, ranch and bought a ranch between Sonora and Junction on the north Llano River in Texas. We call it the Fort Terrett Ranch because the land holds the ruins of the old military camp by that name. It was occupied by U.S. federal troops from 1854-1856 to protect settlers along the Old San Antonio Road. A lot of the beef we’ll put in the Nolan Ryan program in coming years will come from this historic old ranch.
