Seventy-four Ranch Spring Roundup

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
