Red Angus

Outside the corral, a Red Angus peered in before ambling over to use a tractor for a scratching post.

“A very small group of people voted for this,” said Steven Harris, 62, a veterinarian who raises red Angus cattle on a 165-acre farm adjacent to the project and close to the headwaters of Miles Creek.

He and his wife raise Black and Red Angus cattle across their roughly 300,000 acres of land.

Reno lives on a 12,500-acre ranch headquartered a couple of miles near Highway 59 south of Wright on Spring Creek where she raises Red Angus cattle.

Outside, a herd of 14 Red Angus cattle roamed a nearby field, with a Brahman bull, also named Michael, among them.
