Red Circle Ranch

Red Circle Ranch raises Spanish criollo cattle in Myakka City, FL, Manatee County and the Gulf Coast near Sarasota. For over twenty years, it has been committed to preserving the breed’s heritage through selective breeding practices, national registry participation, and regular veterinary health screenings. Their cattle graze on open pasture, with daily handling to support calm temperament and early socialization on the family-run farm.

The property has been in the Christenson family for three generations, fostering a deep respect for land stewardship. Several of their cattle have earned ribbons at regional fairs, reflecting consistent conformation and temperament. A focus on adaptability to Florida’s climate ensures cattle thrive through seasonal challenges.

Red Circle Ranch’s approach combines traditional ranching methods with contemporary welfare standards. Prospective breeders and hobby farmers often highlight the ranch’s transparent communication and supportive guidance throughout acquisition and beyond.
