Red Circle Ranch

Red Circle Ranch in northern Florida near Jacksonville raises miniature Texas longhorns. Mark Christenson has more than a decade of experience with this heritage breed and participates in breed registry and certified health screening programs.

Animals graze on pesticide-free pastures and have access to fresh spring water and daily social interaction with visitors and other livestock. Calves acclimate early to handling under a low-stress program that emphasizes quiet routines and gentle training. The ranch’s balanced approach to genetics and hands-on care aims to produce animals with strong horns and calm temperaments well suited to small farms and homesteads. Many owners note the consistent health and friendly nature of their longhorns across multiple seasons. A rotational grazing schedule helps maintain pasture quality and supports sustainable land stewardship. Routine veterinary checks and hoof-trimming workshops are part of the ranch’s health maintenance regimen.
