John Hayter

John Hayter has a life time of experience in the land and ranch industry as he was born and raised to a long line of pioneering Texas ranchers. John began his career as a 6th generation rancher in 1997 as President of Slash J Ranch Enterprises, Inc. His responsibilities included ranch and wildlife manager for Wallace Creek and Lethco Ranches combined. Wallace Creek Ranch bred and supplied Corriente sport cattle while Lethco Ranch was a more traditional cow/calf operation. He quickly made a name for himself as his expertise and skill did not go unnoticed. His reputation for breeding high quality sport cattle led to sales across a large multi-state area. Before long John began consulting other land owners regarding breeding sport cattle and wildlife management, and as a result he began his entrepreneurial ventures with a wildlife consulting business.

In 2004 as his reputation and experience grew John took on another role; that of a real estate broker specializing in ranch sales.
