Farouk O. Plummer
Preserving a legacy.
Building its future.
As a fifth-generation rancher, Farouk O. Plummer proudly continues a family legacy that began in 1888.
For more than a century, JD Washington Ranch has been dedicated to responsible land stewardship, livestock management, and the advancement of sustainable beef production practices.
Farouk is a graduate of Antioch University and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension's Ranch Management University, where he further developed his expertise in cattle production, ranch operations, and modern grazing systems.
Today, he raises a Brangus crossbreed, combining the hardiness and adaptability of Brahman genetics with the carcass quality and performance characteristics of Angus cattle. His focus is on producing profitable, high-quality beef through sound management practices, strategic genetic selection, and a commitment to animal health and nutrition.
His areas of interest and expertise include nutrient requirements and supplementation programs, genetic strategies for improving herd profitability, and innovative grazing management techniques. He is particularly passionate about nontraditional grazing systems, including the use of cover crops and rotational grazing, which improve soil health, increase forage utilization, and enhance the long-term sustainability of ranching operations.
By blending generations of ranching experience with modern agricultural science, Farouk remains committed to producing efficient, resilient cattle while preserving the land for future generations.
