About the host
Hosted by Carinn Baker
The original land, about 470 acres was acquired by parents, Roy and Joan Dudman for $55 per acre. They gifted the land to us in 1994 and we began plans for deer and horse breeding. Karen bred reining and roping horses of color, mainly buckskins. Her stallion was own son of Hollywood Dun It, the most winning horse of all time in dollars, over $20 million. The remaining mares roam the property in full retirement. We started deer breeding the same year, starting with one buck and eight does. Since 2008 we keep approximately 300 animals on the ranch. Our cattle are a cross between Corinthian and Texas Longhorn.
Why they chose this property
Our star show in the sky most nights is simply spectacular. It is because we are sixty miles to any large cities so the light and air pollution doesn't exist. Enjoy the beauty. We highly recommend you do take a tour of the ranch while you are here. Get a map and go explore. We have over 20 big animal species to see, and unknown numbers of birds and other critters. There are over 50 species of hummingbirds!
What makes this property unique
There is never a dull moment with all the activities available to you on the ranch. Viewing wildlife, fishing, cooking on an open fire, exploring on the mule or Hummer, self guided tours and star gazing.
