About Us
Broken Triangle Cattle Company is a family owned and operated registered seedstock producer, featuring both red and grey Brahman cattle raised by the Charanza family. For nearly 50 years we have focused our breeding philosophy on heavy muscled, structurally correct, and functional cattle. Milton Charanza, alongside his son Mitchell, operate the ranch in Caldwell, Texas.
A Passion for Agriculture and Brahman Cattle
Milton purchased his first Brahmans in the early 1970s and has put his passion and knowledge into the cattle business ever since. Since graduating from Texas A&M University in 1984, Milton has made his living and raised the family in the agriculture field, breeding and marketing Brahman cattle.
More recently, with his unique understanding of the commercial cattle industry, he expanded into marketing Brahman influenced genetics across the southern half of the United States. His no-nonsense approach to productivity and efficiency has cemented his reputation as a breeder completely in tune with the cattle industry.
Milton’s belief in Brahman cattle is unwavering. He understands in the toughest environments in the world Brahmans can not only survive, but they thrive. As a breeder, Milton knows the productive efficiency traits and other strengths of the Brahman such as longevity, mothering ability, disease and insect resistance and heat tolerance play a huge role in making them be in such high demand in the world’s beef production. He believes the industry must build on these strengths and improve our deficiencies, either real or perceived.
Redefining the Brahman Industry
Recently, we implemented a breeding program to redefine the Brahman with a major emphasis on fertility, disposition, and carcass traits. This philosophy has shed a spotlight on our ranching operation and enabled us to prove that Brahman cattle can survive in any environment as their genetics have expanded to breeders all over Texas, the Southeastern states, Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico. Ranchers that need that shot of hybrid vigor, mothering ability, and heat tolerance are turning to this new, redefined, moderate, structurally correct Brahman. And you can find that right here at Broken Triangle Cattle Company.
At Broken Triangle Cattle Company, our commitment to breeding cattle is the same for our red and grey Brahmans. We focus on the productive economic traits with zero emphasis in the show ring. Our cattle are suitable for both the commercial and registered cattlemen. Production is what we put first. Even more exciting on the horizon is the opportunity that we will soon incorporate polled genetics into our Brahman genetics.
We are proud of our Brahman herd and we welcome visitors to the ranch anytime. Take a look at our donor females and herd sires below.
Donor Females
At Broken Triangle Cattle Company, our focus is—and always will be—on females and their importance in a progressive breeding program. With this strong female base of our herd, we produce exceptional cattle, second to none. Our females must be superior in producing calves acceptable to the industry. The Broken Triangle donor herd is made up of MK 111, our top gray donor female, MK 119, MK 1/320, MK 405, and Miss Broken Triangle 308.

Herd Sires
Red Herd Sires
MK Vernon 349/1, a past national and reserve international champion bull leads our red herd bull batter, along with MK Jackpot Lotto 588/8, one of the thickest, best producing red bulls in the industry. TO 12/11, a Commander son out of a 3S Ranch and Hudson Cattle Corporation bred cow, is also at the heart of our herd and producing vigorous calves. His dark red color, docility, and bone fits perfectly with our breeding standards. We retained many of his heifers and looking forward to those females becoming productive. Other TO 12/11 calves have been sold to international and domestic breeders. We also are proud of another TO herd sire, TO 10/4, a past international champion bull.

Gray Herd Sires
The gray herd is led by JDH Echo Liar’s 519/1, an Echo son that has done a tremendous job in producing our kind of calves. Behind him is JDH Mr Manso 114/6, an own son of JDH Elmo Manso. Many females from JDH Echo Liar’s 519/1 and JDH Mr Manso 114/6 have also been retained as replacement females and will be used in our program. In addition, Mr Broken Triangle 013 is adding a lot of beef to our herd. We also have great calves sired by JDH Sir Alcott Manso 821/8 and JDH Sir Martin Manso 840/8 (photos coming soon).
Herd bull power is still important in a successful breeding program. Our bulls are beef machines, masculine, and sound in their feet and legs.
