Your questions, answered!
Why are you called “RAM and Co.”?
RAM stands for Ryan Aubree Maddock. It also fits for our kids too, Ronix and Adyson. We are a family ran operation and do the hard work ourselves! We are 1st generation cattle ranchers and started from scratch with not owning any cattle almost 10 years ago. Our name, our brand, our herd; they’ve all been hand selected by us as we’ve built our cattle ranch.
