Horn Ranch & Rancho La Tinaja Trophy Whitetails

Tragedy struck the Horn - I have posted on my other pages - there are lots of followers on this page that don’t know - Our livestock barn burned to the ground last night - it was iconic to the ranch build in 1932 was the coolest barn I have ever been in - build in the sheep and goat glory days , there is no telling how many head of livestock have passed thru it 100,000 plus I imagine - before there was electricity it had its own generator which survived. 7 more years it would have been 100 years old and was my favorite part of the whole ranch. What didn’t survive was 2 show lambs, 3 show goats , a brand new zero turn, ranger, 2 of our racing bikes, 2 walking cooler freezers, all of our livestock equipment and lots of antiques unique to the times and the barn . In the ranching business you get real used to death, disease, flood , drought , snow and even fire 🔥 it didn’t hit me til this morning walking around the rubble. If I don’t answer phone calls or respond to text it’s just that the only time I get choked up is when I have to talk about it . The Barn was the heart of the ranch but I am more upset about my Son’s loss of livestock and equipment that. I have had tons of people offer to bring equipment and head this way and help - it is still smoldering and I honestly don’t have the time or energy to deal with it at the moment. When we are ready I will let people know - Thank You for all the prayers and offers to help ❤️ Thank You to the Kinney Co. Fire Department & Sheriff’s Department

It’s been a long, hard road but “ We’re Back ! “ Congrats to Cade Thomas on his Top 5 Whitetail Buck and possibly Record Bow Harvest Whitetail buck - 5.5 years old , 170 # , 13 points , * 171.25 “ - this deer was an anthrax survivor and we have watched him grow for the last 3 years, go from an 8 to a 10 to a 13. Awesome Deer 😎

Spent the day feeding - its the dead of winter right now and we dont know when spring will be here and we are incredibly dry. If you are not feeding then your deer are hungry or have left to someone who is and you are only hurting yourself and your deers productivity for the 2022 season. This time of the year is the most critical in my opinion and supplemental feeding is a ranch requirement and I will be checking the lease members for compliance and notifying those who are slacking
