Ranch News

It has been a very busy and very HOT summer here on the ranch. While we continue our day to day operations taking care of the purebred Brahman and commercial cattle herds, we have recently branched out into a new ag-venture with planting blueberries! After many months of research, planning and preparation, we finally got plants in the ground in May of this year. Watching the plants get delivered and setting them out to be planted was an exciting time for the whole family and even the littlest members came out to celebrate the occasion! We are definitely looking forward to our first harvest in the Spring of 2017. It will be a sweet reward to see the fruits of all the hard work that has been put into making this blueberry farm happen. Jimmy, Denton, Gibbs, and Clifton have spent countless hours out in the field keeping everything on track. As of now, the plan is to commercially harvest the blueberries, however, we are looking into the possibility of opening up for u-pick as well. We would love to provide that opportunity for our community to come out and hand pick some locally grown blueberries, so we will definitely keep you updated on that matter as the spring approaches.
