Rob Paulin

Rob Paulin has spent the majority of his adult life around horses and cattle. He has managed ranches, leased ground and run outside cattle, and had his own cattle. For the last 20 years he has been the manager of Rancho Corta Madera, Inc. Corta Madera is a cow/calf operation located the mountains east of San Diego. About 6 years ago the ranch began experimenting with Criollo cattle as an alternative to the larger English, Angus, type cattle. Corta Madera now runs a herd of Criollo mother cows, most of which are Raramuri Criollo. As requested by this research project, the ranch also maintains a smaller herd of black Angus mother cows. All cows are bred to black Angus bulls. Rob’s agricultural education is strictly empirical. He has B.A. degree in the highly lucrative and employable major of English.
