Ranch Tested. Research Proven.
When two giants in the world of ranching and animal nutrition unite, the outcome is nothing short of legendary. Four Sixes Ranch and BioZyme Inc. have joined forces to provide ranchers with Legendary Nutrition.
The Legend of Four Sixes Ranch
The Four Sixes Ranch has become synonymous with ranching excellence. But it wasn't always that way. In 1870, Captain Samuel "Burk" Burnett purchased 100 head of cattle branded with 6666. Today, after 150 years of resilience, the Sixes is renowned for breeding some of the country's finest Quarter Horses and Angus cattle.
But the Sixes' commitment to quality extends far beyond the animals it raises. Every element of their operation reflects a commitment to the highest standards in ranching. They've pioneered best practices and reshaped the landscape of ranching in Texas. As a trusted name among cattle producers, Four Sixes Ranch has more than earned its place in the pantheon of legendary operations.

As I have worked with BioZyme over the years and operated nine different ranches in five different states, the nutritional needs in every one of those states was different. I saw a need for a tub or a product that would work for normal ranchers in different areas to meet the nutritional needs in all those different states. The partnership we have with BioZyme to develop this product would do just that. Not just smaller ranchers, not just purebred operators, but day-in-day-out ranchers that make a living off the land.
I wanted BioZyme to develop a product that works in the real world, not just on an improved small pasture. It has to work in a big pasture. It has got to work in big country. There are still a lot of places in the United States that have ranches that you can’t drive to every corner. You have to have something that works for big country.
We've got to get the most utilization out of every mouthful of grass that the cow gets, and Amaferm...helps those cows utilize that grass more. The more they can utilize it, the less they have to graze.
It's like anything: if you eat healthy and you put healthy supplements in your body, you're naturally going to be better off. And the cattle are the same. When the nutrition is available to them, they're able to consume and do the best that the animal is able to do.
We identified two of the rougher pastures at Guthrie and ran an in-house trial...to test that protein tub. Pastured cows stayed in good flesh—probably a little bit better or just as good as...the cows that were being caked every day. And then, the breed up was about 2 to 3% better...so we started using it more.
