Our team
Milton & Dora Thomas
Milt and Dora Thomas met in South-Central Texas in the early to mid-1990s. Since, they engaged with the international beef cattle research community, which includes the translation of genomics into the beef industries in the US and Australia. They combine their expertise in beef cattle and health professions to keep the RS herd in great body condition, healthy, and fertile. Dr. Thomas is prideful of his beef cattle research accomplishments and shares his knowledge by teaching livestock genetics, production, and management and participating in extension activities. They have spent 25 years in the land grant universities in New Mexico and Colorado and are glad to be again engaged in farming and ranching in Texas.

A long-time resident of Victoria, he also participates with family (in-law) farms and ranches in Victoria and Dewitt counties.
