Red Circle Ranch
Red Circle Ranch, run by Mark Christenson, raises Spanish criollo cattle in Myakka City, Florida, situated in Manatee County roughly an hour southeast of Tampa.
The ranch's name carries a family legacy: it traces back to a Red Circle Stock Farm that the Christenson family operated as a dairy in upstate New York. That multigenerational connection to livestock farming shapes the ranch's hands-on approach to cattle raising today.
The program's roots in miniature longhorn cattle go back to around 2006, when Mark and his brothers began exploring smaller cattle breeds before settling on the longhorn line. Over more than a decade, the focus of the operation shifted toward refining pedigree crosses, working to reduce frame size while preserving conformation, temperament, and horn character. Those looking for Spanish criollo cattle in Florida will find a program built on that same patient, selective approach to breeding.
