The ranch blossoms in fragrance and soft color just in time for the wedding

The tables are set under stately 100 year old white oaks.

The honored guests gather

And so do the curious horses

You can feel the love

At the garden gate the groom awaits

Now the procession winds past the heirloom roses

Here comes the bride and her proud father

With, family and friends surrounding them, Lyn and Beth exchange their sacred vows

In the cool breeze of a late afternoon in the foothills, a new life begins for Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson

As owner Larry and Pam Butler remember their own vows

And after cake and celebration …

The couple leaves in “Old Blue,” Seventy-four Ranch style

Our Best Wishes and Congratulations!

Cowboys from near and far joined us for spring roundup

Some of the herd came reluctantly

But come they did ….

The corral filled up with our Corriente and Longhorn cattle

Guests staying in the Cowboy Cabin for the roundup look on

Generations of cowboys pitched in

That’s Annabelle, who was an orphan last year and spent months inside the three acres surrounding the historic Butler-Cape House with the Butlers. 

Owner Larry Butler gives Annabelle the treasured 74 brand. During our roundups, ranch cattle are wormed, vaccinated, castrated and branded as needed. It’s a unique opportunity for cowboys to practice their 1880’s skills and guests to see them in action and understand why they have become so important to cowboys and ranch operations for more than 100 years
