Our Story

We’re proud to be a third-generation ranching family, raising premium angus beef on the 4C Ranch in Morgan Mill, Texas. Founded in 1984 by our late grandfather, Lee “Boppy” Clay, the 4C Ranch began with a simple vision--raise quality cattle the right way, keeping faith and family at the heart of what we do.

Ashton and Sawyer Breeding grew up on the 4C Ranch, spending their summers, weekends, and after-school hours working for their grandfather’s cow-calf operation. The two brothers graduated from Texas Christian University, where Ashton studied  In 2024, Ashton and Sawyer founded Breeding Beef Cattle Co. with one goal: bring their high-quality beef straight from the ranch to your kitchen table.

Our herd comes from the same strong bloodline our grandfather started decades ago: ethically-sourced, grass fed, grain finished, and free from added hormones and antibiotics.
