2013 Lone Star Land Steward: JA Ranch

The J.A. Ranch in both Armstrong and Donley Counties is a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 2013 Lone Star Land Steward Award Winner. It is one of the oldest ranches in Texas and at one point, the ranch was over one million acres in size. Today, the ranch is run by a fifth generation descendant of one of the original founders. Andrew Bivens uses GPS technology and various databases in an innovative approach to manage an old fashioned cattle ranch.

I work on JA back in early 70s built some houses repair some too, and built a dance stage in front of headquarters for Bivins wedding. Install wine cooler in basement what a great place to work and the drive in is worth the trip. I was very lucky one day to meet Montie Richie he came up to us on horse back, thanks for great memories
