About Us

Lust Angus started in Lazbuddie, Texas as a part of Hinkson Angus which was founded by my grandfather Frank Hinkson Sr. in 1959. The very first cows that were purchased came from the Ralph Smith Dispersal Sale in Chillicothe. Missouri in 1959. The true foundation cows were purchased from the Essar Ranch in San Antonio in 1961. These cows were mainly Marshall bred cows and were bigger, stouter, more useful cows than the Dor Mac Bardoliermere cows from Missouri. In 1963, Frank Hinkson purchased 3 bulls from the Wye Plantation in Maryland. These bulls, 2 sons of Fabron of Wye and 1 son of the imported Prince of Malpas, greatly improved the genetic base of our herd. The registered herd was started in order to raise bulls for the families' commercial herd on a ranch on the Arizona-New Mexico border.

The ranch was rough, dry country, and these bulls needed to have a little more performance than what most breeders were raising at the time. The bulls had to travel long distances to breed cows, so they had to be sound on their feet and legs. The goal then is the same as the goal now: To raise Angus cattle that work for the commercial cattleman in a real-world environment.

Today, Lust Angus is a family operation made up of. Tim, Lea, Dru, Taylor, and Gryder Lust run about 150 registered cows near Abernathy, Texas. We continue to focus on using the top AI bulls in the industry and embryo transfer to continue to improve our herd. We specialize in raising gentle, low birth weight cattle with as much muscle and carcass quality as we can get with moderate milk and good fleshing ability. We look forward to starting new relationships with new customers as well as our program continues to expand. We work hard to produce genetics that will help you increase the profitability of your herd.
