Establishing their claim on the plains of Eastern Colorado in 1912 after arriving in a covered wagon from Missouri, James M. Kenny and his family were officially granted legal ownership of the property by President Woodrow Wilson in 1917. 

James’ daughter Arlie would marry Red Hamilton, and the couple would build the original homestead on the land while raising their four children in the 1920s. Their son Marvin, along with his wife Evelyn continued to build the ranch into a well respected operation. 

Marvin and Evelyn’s son Dave, along with his wife Gailene, currently own and operate the farm with their three daughters, a son-in-law, and three grandchildren, producing high-quality beef cattle and hay crops.
