Producer Stories from UFRW Farmers & Ranchers

Brian and Heather Kingdon purchased the main ranch in Indian Valley in 1991. Since then progressive practices have been implemented on the 385 acres of irrigated ground. It is used primarily for summer grazing and hay production. Included in the operation are leases on two summer ranches as well as the winter range near Chico. This provides year round grazing for their herd of predominately Angus cattle which was started from a base herd of Beefmaster many years ago.
