Running P Cattle Co., founded by Drew and Lauren Perez (James) with a vision that more can be achieved beyond your dreams that is within your reach. Drew and Lauren alongside their two children, Mila and Myles run Running P Cattle Co outside of Canyon, Texas. While Running P is a startup operation from the ground, the heritage runs deep.

Drew was born into the Hereford breed as a 4^th generation Hereford cattlemen. He was raised on a family owned large commercial and purebred operation that his great-grandfather and grandparents, Don & Mary Helen Kuper originated in the early 1960s. Drew’s passion for the industry began at a young age checking cows and calves in the pasture horseback, driving a feed pick up, and giving assistance on the ranch.  It’s the daily life experiences on the ranch and seeing cattle in their natural state that established Drew’s persistence to raising structurally sound, maternally driven, and low maintenance cattle that can handle the rugged terrain and conditions of the Southwest.

Drew has always had a passion for striving for more and using his own God given talents to never settle for less.  Drew was extensively active in the Junior Hereford Association growing up with his most noted honor being recognized as the Hereford Herdsman recipient in 2008.

Lauren originated from the Flint Hills of Kansas where she was raised on a diversified farming operation and was actively involved in 4-H and FFA holding numerous leadership roles in these organizations alongside showing hogs and sheep.
