Following the Numbers
Commercial Angus ranch evolves.
It wasn’t in Tyler Woolfolk’s plan to return to the family ranch just outside of Protection, Kan. He spent 12 years forging his own path in the banking industry.
However, his data-driven mindset translated to the commercial cattle business, and when the chance to return home came, he took it.
Alongside his father, Kent, and brother Rylan, the three-man team collaborated with experts to grow their ranch on the Kansas-Oklahoma line. Together, they now graze 1,000 cow-calf pairs on nearly 20,000 acres and operate a backgrounding facility used to custom-feed calves and develop replacement heifers. That’s in addition to the yearlings they graze out.
There’s a lot on the plate for the small family team, but by making the numbers work, they’ve learned to balance it all.
