West Kerr Ranch Whitetail Bucks

In 1976 Robert B. Trull, the father of Barbara Kana, purchased six sections of land from Charles Schreiner III, owner of the YO Ranch. The ranch was continuously grazed with goats and cattle until the late 1980's, when Barbara observed the damage this was causing the land and the wildlife. It wasn't an easy battle convincing her father to relinquish the land. He believed the land should be run by "good ole boys". He looked at the land primarily as an investment.
Barbara quickly became the seminar queen, learning all she could about land management. Some years later, Barbara was transferred management of the family's entire holdings into her now proven capable hands. Barbara's philosophy of land ownership reflects her respect for Native American populations who believed that the land did not belong to man, but rather, man belonged to the land. "For some reason, this piece of property has been entrusted to me, and it's my responsibility to take care of it," she says. The emotional bond Kana feels with the land is shared with her two adult daughters, Ashley and Kelcie, who now help run the ranch.
