COMANCHERIA DAYS AT THE ADOLF STIELER RANCH! "PART #1"

We hitched up Tuesday, April 7 and left the Herbert Ranch for Ralph's 4-day Cowboy Action Shooting competition.

Pulling our ranch house, it took us just under 2 hours and that was with a stop at a truck stop for ice.

We pulled into the Stieler Ranch at 130 Adolph Stieler Rd,  just 12 miles south of Fredericksburg, TX.

The Stieler Ranch has a beautiful history and now is run by his grand daughter, Becky Patterson who is a cowgirl and author.

The Texican Rangers is the name of the club that has a range on her property and they have been here for 20 years. This is their 20th Anniversary of the shoot out called "Comancheria Days".

The Stieler Ranch was the legendary ranch of Adolf Stieler  has been in continuous operations by the same family since 1878.

 The ranch was home to 60,000 Angora Goats, along with sheep and cattle. Adolf was known as the "Angora Goat King of the World" when the wool and mohair industry of Texas was the largest in the nation.

Oh how we love Texas's attitude about guns. That is why we love it here!

This weekend will be done in a few "Parts" so stay tuned, I am working on "Part 2"! Happy Trails!
