"e original farm of 200 acres was
over 80% forested and it took 6 years to
clear and reestablish pasture to support
livestock," Tracy said. "e farm
needed to be designed to sustain both
a cow-calf and stocker cattle operation.
As the land was cleared, it was stocked
with the cow-calf pairs. In 2013, we
moved all of our cattle to the existing
ranch and no longer rented feeder pens
from our in-laws. We kept as many 40-
acre pastures as possible to allow the
cattle to have a forage-based diet and
cut down on feed costs."
ey designed and built the barns,
shop and cattle working facilities.
"It went in stages as we were able
to afford the expansion," Tracy said.
"e working pens at headquarters
were built in 2008 and have undergone
several upgrades to handle sorting
larger amounts of cattle and safety. e
upgrades have allowed the opportunity
for all family members to safely help
sort cattle. e horse barn and lab were
built in 2011, the hay/feed barn was
built in 2012 and the shop was built
in 2014, with an addition added to the

built everything ourselves except the
shop.
