Staff Page


Texas Longhorn cattle have been the mainstay of Dickinson Cattle Company, Inc. ever since the very beginning. To make this all coordinate in a smooth way takes some very dedicated and quality employees. We hope this WEB page gives you an opportunity to learn a little more about each one. As you dial the number at the home office, perhaps the information in this article will assist you in going right to the person that you want to talk to. This is not a government office. You will find a human voice answering the phone nearly every time, people with names, who care about you and your business.

Darol and Linda live on the ranch in Ohio. Darol is showing cattle to investors daily. When you call DCCI specifically ask for the person in charge of that division and your request will be promptly handled with courtesy and efficiency. As you know, your business is greatly appreciated at DCCI.

(Chad loves thick steaks when he artistically  applies the fire; he can walk a tight rope, four "friends" have broken bones while trying to skiing as fast as he does, and he can sleep while small kids jump on his stomach; his mother in law is a 65 year old licensed ship Capitan; his kids have made 23 touchdowns in two years and his wife drives over 400 miles a week taking the kids to games.)
