The North American Cattle Association compared the Corriente Beef against Conventional Beef, Pork Chops and Chinook Salmon. They found that Spanish descent cattle (Corriente) can live in a feedlot setting and can produce lean, choice-grading carcasses. The steaks were tested and the Corriente were found to have about half of the fat content of the Certified Angus Beef, with higher unsaturated fat and lower saturated fat. What’s even better is the Corriente scored higher in crude protein and had less calories! The Corriente steaks compared equally, if not more, in flavor and aroma.

Roping and Riding Corriente are the most common cattle used in rodeos. They are great sports cattle even though they are small. Most steers are ready-to-rope at 12 to 14 months of age. At this age the horns may be nearly straight, but soon develop a curve so that the animal can still go through a roping chute easily as a two-year-old. They are very gentle but very strong. This makes them an ideal choice for team roping, bulldogging, cutting and team penning. They are judged on their stamina, strength and qualities of their performance.

Life at 2 Hearts Ranch revolves around our horses. Their selection, breeding, training, and care are of paramount importance and consume most of our energy throughout the year so that we can offer the best possible ranch experience. All of our horses have been born on the ranch. They socialize naturally in a herd environment and roam in a large pasture together.
