History of the Half Circle
Six Ranches
Half-Circle Six Ranches, located in central West Texas, are owned and operated
by the Glass family. Philip's great-grandfather, J. L. Glass, pictured above
with the horse, homesteaded four
sections in Sterling County in 1890 and the family still ranches on the same
property. Today the ranches continue family tradition by
supporting ranching enterprises including cattle, sheep, and goats.
Recent additions to the enterprise include whitetail and exotic deer hunting.
If you look closely at the photo above, you can see the pet antelope
standing in front of the woman. So interest in wildlife runs deep in the
family!
Philip and Jennifer Glass make their home at Chalk Springs Ranch near Water
Valley, Texas. Their son, James, age 13 is already proving a natural hand
around the ranch. Lovely, lively daughter Hannah, age 7, is a ray of
sunshine and a familiar figure at the Dorper sheep events. Son Jasper,
joined the flock on May 17, 2006.
Dorper sheep and exotic deer and antelope graze the rocky limestone hills and
spring fed creek bottoms of Chalk Springs Ranch. Their goal is to produce high quality, range-raised breeding stock
Dorper sheep for sale to other livestock producers. They seek out the best available genetics and breed animals
to meet the breed standards that have made the sheep so attractive for today's
markets.
In
addition, the ranch offers fair chase trophy exotic hunts on the 2000 acre
ranch. Ranch tours and hunting opportunities are available year around.
