New Life at the Double Circle Ranch

Going for rides in the truck with our boys napping in the back seat, lends time to Jason and I to talk about dreams (it’s a rare occasion that quiet happens around here because our sons are seven, five, and two). We were driving from up to Nutrioso one afternoon to get out of the [...]

The Brangus are coming! The Brangus are coming!

Scott Bryce and the New Brangus Cattle Herd

Scott and Wendy Bryce brought 22 young Brangus heifers to the Double Circle yesterday. I will always have a soft spot for Texas longhorns, but these are a nice set of uniform, black heifers. They will make good cows here. They aren’t really used to being [...]

Merry Christmas!

Double Circle Ranch Changes Hands

Wilma Ridin' Out

Well, it is official – Doug and I sold the Double Circle Ranch yesterday. It is time to retire and put the ranch in the hands of younger folks. The Bryce family from Pima bought the ranch. They are several-generation cattle ranchers with good work and conservation ethics and years of [...]

Repairing the Cabin Roof

Gene and Bernice bailed us out again. They drove all the way from Tucson and helped repair the main portion of the cabin roof that the wind storm blew off. [...]

Windstorm Rips Off Cabin Roof

I was saving the blog about the cabin when I could hear wind coming and getting loud till it sounded like a train. It hit the house like a ton of bricks! [...]
