Allies in Agriculture
GROWING GRASS, BUILDING TRUST
Supporting the vegetation management needs of our customers means more to us than just spraying weeds. We develop partnerships embedded in trust to ensure steadfast connections and long-term solutions.
Wiggins Ranch in Eureka, Kansas, has relied on Alligare products, like Gunslinger® AMP, to enhance its range and pasture spaces. The Wiggins family has been raising cattle in the Kansas Flint Hills for six generations. Today, they are known for raising top-quality Brangus-Angus cattle and producing delicious, home-grown beef.
Ranch Raised Premium Beef
At Wiggins Ranch, all cattle are born and raised on the wide-open native grasses of the Kansas Flint Hills. Even after selection for the retail program, cattle are turned out on grass until they are moved to the feedlot. Grass management is fundamental to a healthy herd and ultimately quality beef.
A Source You Can Trust
With a goal to always provide customers with the best quality beef from a source you can trust, the Wiggins family takes pride in producing tender, flavorful meat you can’t find in a store. Each step of the process is planned, practiced, and methodically completed to ensure the best product is available to the public.
Creating a Solid Foundation
Providing premium products begins early in the production cycle. To guarantee customer satisfaction and better beef each year, Wiggins Ranch worked with a vegetation management specialist to ensure quality from the ground up. “I have a different frame of mind about grass than a lot of people. I get a kick out of seeing clean, nice grass. Pasture is too hard to come by. If you don’t take care of it, you are wasting your time,” Mike Wiggins, owner of Wiggins Ranch.
Continuing the Legacy
Developing relationships and working with allies is not something new to Wiggins Ranch. Business built on a solid foundation and years of cultivating partnerships has left the ranch with a legacy six generations old and growing. One of these relationships is where their highly popular Wild Horse seasoning originated.
Don Elliot, former owner of the Wild Horse Grille in Marble Falls, Texas, was a lifelong friend of the Wiggins family. In his last days, Don shared the recipe for his perfected, custom spice blend, Wild Horse All Purpose Seasoning. This combined two legacies rich in tradition and a dedicated work ethic. Alligare is honored to share their stories, and a little bit of seasoning, with our customers at upcoming trade shows and conferences.

One Pass, Double Impact: Fertilize and Control Weeds for Maximum Pasture PerformanceEvery season, land managers and livestock producers face the same dilemma: “Should I fertilize my pastures to boost forage production, or apply herbicide to control broadleaf weeds?” Historically, the answer leaned toward fertilization.

Now, thanks to the Alligraze program from Alligare, you no longer have to choose. Alligraze combines dry fertilizer with a residual herbicide in a single application, giving you a dual-action solution that promotes vigorous forage growth while suppressing aggressive broadleaf weeds....
