Double Dollar Livestock, as so many farms and ranches across America, was started from a small boys’ dream. Just like his son, Quinn, when Greg Kesler, owner of Double Dollar Livestock was a boy, all he thought about was horses, cows and roping.  For five years after high school, Greg worked at every job he could—from shoeing horses to rough necking on oil rigs—trying to put away enough money to get back to his first love.

As he saved his money during the mid-70’s, he invested it all in then $.25 to $.30/lb calves. By 1979, cow prices had soared, so he sold out, and he and his new wife, Allyson, started a series of successful businesses ranging from a chemical business to a mail-order rope and tack company.

At the end of each year, any profits from these businesses were put into cows, horses and, eventually into the land, equipment and facilities that make up the Double Dollar Livestock of today.

The Kesler’s will tell you even though they feel blessed to have such nice land and livestock, the greatest blessing of ranching is seeing the involvement of their children in the different parts of the operation.
