Bar W Ranch – the past brought to date 4

By Janie Smith The history of the Bar W Ranch in Carrizozo is the history of Lincoln County and indeed of New Mexico itself. Cattle and horses have been raised on this ranch since 1869. The present owner, Stirling Truman Spencer, is a descendent of five family ranching generations. The ranch itself sprawls 10 miles north of Carrizozo and 6 miles south. On a landscape unchanged since New Mexico was created as a territory of the United States in 1869, the Bar W Ranch is a present day reminder of New Mexico’s past, and an example of present day ranching life.

In 1869 when the United States made New Mexico a territory, Lincoln County was created. The present day Bar W Ranch was then owned by L.G. Murphy and Jimmy Dolan, who later became infa-

mous as major participants in the Lincoln County Land War. In 1884, however, Murphy and Dolan had overextended their finances, and the Bar W was foreclosed by the bank.

It was sold to Thomas Catron who held it for two years and then in 1886 sold it to a group based in England. At that time the English were investing in large cattle ranches, hoping perhaps to make a fortune in Photos courtesy of Janie Smith beef. Little did they know the Above (and on the cover), the working cowboy, Kendal Wilson and realities of ranching. It was his horse, Jeb.

At that time White Oaks was a bustling gold town and the first governor of New Mexico, W.C two sons and daughter. The years passed and in 1948 T.A.

At that bor. As a young man Stirling’s father explained this to time W.C. was shipping cattle to Kansas City and a him and urged him to consider another career. Stirling 19-year-old young man, T.A.

Stirling Spencer with the ranch horses. he entered ranching with an analytical mind, used to thinking outside the box.

Basically Stirling said that ranchers are “grass farmers”. Grass is the element that determines the size of the cattle herd and the condition of that herd. A rancher has variables that he cannot control. Rain or lack of rain can make or break a rancher. It is therefore essential that a rancher consider every aspect of raising cattle. Stirling has chosen a bloodline of cattle that are best suited to the grassland that he has. These cattle are a hybrid cross of English Red Angus and German Continental Gelbvieh. Stirling loves cattle and is breeding for genetics. He states that this cross not only has hybrid vigor, but good growth with the mother cows retaining maternal traits. The number of stock on the ranch is determined by the amount of grass. Presently the Bar W Ranch is running at 20 percent capacity, down from 800-1,200 head because of the extended drought in New Mexico and the subsequent diminishing of grass. The bitter cold snap in 2010 and 2011 added to the drought, killing about half of the grassland to make the situation even worse.

Other factors in the marketing of beef must be considered. Stirling writes his own computer programs to analyze feed, supplements, market trends in beef, breeds of cattle and improvements that can be made to the ranch to benefit the cattle. Locating water in different locations, for example, can encourage cattle to utilize remote grazing areas more and keep them from walking miles to reach a water supply thus losing weight. Thinking outside the box, Stirling considers every single thing that

will improve the efficiency of his ranch.

As he admits, he is not a typical rancher nor does he look like one. In shorts and an open collared shirt, Stirling looks like an Australian rancher.

Most of the chores on the Bar W Ranch are done by Stirling and his foreman, Kendal Wilson, a 23-yearold young man who has worked on the ranch since he was in high school. For the last few years he has been a full time employee. When asked why he had chosen this life Kendal said, “This is how I grew up and it is just what I do.

It’s the life I love.” Kendal and Stirling repair all the machinery, fix and move the water lines, repair wells, do all the farm maintenance, feed the stock in the winter and in their spare time brand and wean calves. While the ranch no longer breeds fine Quarter Horses, there are still 10 well-bred Quarter Horse ranch horses that are used to check on cattle and to ride fence lines.

When all is said and done, ranching is a hard way to make a living. It is apparent that ranching is a labor of love with money not being a motivating factor. To make ends meet Stirling not only manages the ranch but is a (remove) Probate Judge for the County of Lincoln and he has a Solar Company.

When you turn off Highway 54 onto the long gravel driveway leading to the long low ranch house where Stirling Spencer lives, you drive and drive until you are sure you are going to end up in the next county. At the end of that driveway is the living example of history that has merged into modern times. The Bar W Ranch with its rolling grasslands and wide vistas is an example of all that is right in this world.

Capitan man makes handmade crosses for the Nest ALAMOGORDO • CLOUDCROFT • TULAROSA

With the right mix of talent and patient skill, even broken and discarded items become beautiful ornaments and jewelry. For five years, David Campbell, a man from Capitan, has been taking broken butter knives, dulled saw blades and chunks of melted wax and turning them into wall décor, necklaces and new candles. His pieces decorate walls in thrift stores from Ruidoso and Capitan all the way to Alamogordo and Las Cruces. His candles light the rooms of the Humane Society of Lincoln County and the Lincoln County Food Bank. Recently, he stopped by The Nest and donated a cross, made of knives and glass beads from a fish tank.

“I just started running out of wall space at home, so I started taking it to charities,” Campbell said.

His donation at The Nest was prompted when he stopped by Sweet Charity with a jewelry donation.

After talking with Dora, a shopkeeper at the resale boutique, he decided to donate a separate art piece for

the women at the shelter. Like all of HEAL’s donors, Campbell received a hand written thank you note in the mail soon after. Uniquely, he sent a thank you note back, along with a few feathers he had found. “I was so happy that they wanted to include me,” Campbell said.

When he returned to The Nest to speak with staff about his work and take pictures for an article, he did not come empty handed. He brought three more crosses, each uniquely decorated with beads and stones, as well as three candles he had made.

Campbell is an entirely self-taught craftsman. Of his inspiration and motivation, he said, “I just sit down and make it. I love God and thank Him for my life. I do a lot of hard work, like log splitting, because it’s good exercise and good therapy for me. I try to work every single day. I turned 67 last month and nobody believes me, that I could be this old. This was just something my sister had said everyone would love.”

The organizations he works with are so thankful for his work that they have begun to donate materials for his use.

Thrift stores save items for him, from broken, sterling silver butter knives from the 1940s to chunks of candle wax.

Courtesy photo His work is also featured David Campbell holdin the Four Seasons Mall ing a cross he created at the bead store. and donated to the “There are so many Nest. ways people come forward to help the residents at the Nest. It is really remarkable. We are grateful for David and his donations to the women at our shelter,” said Coleen Widell, HEAL executive director.

Bugs with bright colors and bugs with intricate designs. Here are some interesting specimens that were found in 2 Rivers Park, the Ruidoso Public Library’s garden, the Circle B RV Resort and the Cedar Creek picnic area. They’re colorful and an entomologist might even know their names.

Poetry corner ‘Mountain Sunrise’ by Marie Park The soft, gold wash of the early sun Like melted butter lights the peaks, And running down the piñoned slopes The purple shadowed valley seeks So softly comes the morning sun He sometimes catches

unaware Still in their nightgowns, drowsyeyed, Soft baby clouds left sleeping there.

Then warming in the brilliant light, The mountains glow and preen themselves And rise up from the

desert floor Like comic, fat and lumpy elves.

The cloak of forest green they wear, The crown of rugged peaks they raise Breathe out God’s glory on the air, And sing the beauty of His praise.
