Distant View of the Historic Big V Ranch
The original Big V Ranch was established by William Henry and Viola Vanselous at the turn of the century is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. From 1905 to 1912 he handled more mules than any other farmer in the United States. He also handled mules for the British Army. His ranch expanded to over 10,000 acres. Vanselous died in 1930 and the land was auctioned in 1954. His grandson, Wally Edwards, has continued the farm and ranch operation since that time. The 1.200 acre working far includes cattle, hay, and small grain operations. Many of the facilities were restored in 2007.
