At 4 Steer Ranch, we maintain a small herd of Corriente Decorative Cattle. The Corriente is a breed of cattle who descended from Spanish animals brought to the Americas in the late 1400s. They are primarily used today as sport cattle for rodeo events such as team roping and bulldogging (also known as steer wrestling), although some breeders raise them for their meat, which is significantly leaner than the meat from most modern beef cattle.
Similar to the Texas Longhorn (which many believe to be descended from Corrientes), they require less water and can live on sparse open range. Corrientes are also known as accomplished escape artists, as they can leap a standard barbed-wire fence and squeeze through fairly small openings.

Bulls / Steers
Corriente cattle are often the number one choice of cowboys for roping and bulldogging; the Corriente makes a wonderful all pourpose animal. Here at 4 Steer Ranch, we offer a wide selection of stock for roping, bulldogging and also the dinner table! Our cattle are available through out the season. For more information on available bulls & steers, please view the gallery.

Cows / Heffiers
Corrientes are fairly small cattle, with cows averaging well under 1,000 pounds (450 kg). They are lean, athletic, and have long upcurving horns. They are known as "easy keepers," as there is very little human intervention required in their calving, and they eat significantly less than the big beef cattle. For more information on available cows & heffiers, please view the gallery.
