The Ranch
Our cow/calf operation has evolved dramatically over the years with improved genetics and the development of year-round stockwater on most of the ranch. As our weaning weights have increased over 50% since 1970, we no longer hold our calves over for a second season of grass as they would be too big and too uneconomic to finish in a feedlot. Subsequently, we have become even more focused on our cows and bulls, striving to offer seven-weight, natural beef candidates for the Video and Internet auctions.

Robbin and I are immersed in the ranch � not only do we work together daily, but we�re constantly devising ways to make our operation more efficient and economically feasible. Beyond our own well-being, we believe that common sense and understanding are tied directly to ranch landscapes and viable rural communities, to the �hands-on� working man and the cattle ranching culture, and that these attributes will eventually become survival skills of more and more value to society in the face of increasing technological conveniences. In addition to the maintenance and preservation of this small watershed�s resources by successfully raising cattle over the long term, we believe that this ranch, and others, can offer �grounded� educations into the future.
