Our partner Clarice Holder wrote this note. It shows very clearly what we are accomplishing with our Texas Longhorn herd. Prescribed grazing is one of the most important tools in our ongoing conservation and sustainability work here at the ranch.
On October 24, 2009 the Historical Society of Graham County came to the Double Circle Ranch on Eagle Creek in Arizona to talk about the history of the ranch.
This is an old grave yard (last burial occurred in the 30’s) on the Circles that the Cowbells fixed up and fenced in the 1960’s, I think. The graveyard has not been grazed since. Doug Dressler, the owner of the Double Circles, observed the difference between the grazed outside pasture and the non-grazed inside of the grave yard pasture. It is a very interesting contrast between managed use and around 50 years rest.
