Cow Creek Ranch and Southern Cattle Company Announce Merger;
Two Brands, One Direction
This past year has proven to be particularly challenging for the Reznicek family. Losing Joe took an emotional toll on our family. His leadership and passion are missed here everyday. Joe's death left a vacuum that has been difficult to replenish. So, it comes with mixed emotions of both melancholy and excitement that we announce that Southern Cattle Company, Marianna, Florida, has merged with and acquired Cow Creek Ranch.
The Reznicek family is grateful to everyone for taking the journey with us during the past 25 years. Our journey is not yet complete and we ask you to come along on the passage into our future. - Joy Reznicek
