Bar WRanch– the past brought to date 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 fi ve family ranch-ing 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 terri-tory 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 fi nances, 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 beef. Little did they know the realities of ranching. It was then that the Spencer family came on the scene.

The new English owners needed someone to run the ranch. At that time White Oaks was a bustling gold town and the fi rst governor of New Mexico, W.C McDonald, was living there. The English owners re-cruited W.C. and thus in 1890 he became the manager of the vast Bar W Ranch and later the great-grand-father of the present owner, Stirling Spencer. At that time W.C. was shipping cattle to Kansas City and a 19-year-old young man, T.A. Spencer Sr., intercepted correspondence of W.C. McDonald to the Kansas City Stock Yards requesting a man to be sent to him as his secretary. T.A. thus went to work for him. That young man took a fancy to W.C.’s daughter, Francis and the feeling appeared to be mutual for soon there were wedding bells. By now W.C. had enough of ranch-ing and became interested in politics. It seemed likely

that New Mexico might fi nally become a state and W.C. had his eye on the governorship.

In the meantime, W.C. and T.A. Spencer Sr. had bought the ranch from the English group who were tired of the amount of money they were not making on their investment. The ranch at that time was named The Carrizozo Cattle Co. Ltd. When W.C. died in

1917, T.A. became the sole manager of the ranch. He and his wife gave one-third interests in the ranch to his two sons and daughter. The years passed and in 1948 T.A. Spencer Jr., the father of the present day owner, Stirling, was running the ranch.

The realities of ranching are that making money is not always the outcome of long hours and hard la-bor. As a young man Stirling’s father explained this to him and urged him to consider another career. Stirling listened, paid attention and considered another career. He left the grassy plains of Carrizozo and ranch life and attended New Mexico State where he obtained a BS in Chemical Engineering. For the next several years he was a chemical engineer in Houston, El Paso and San Antonio, Texas. Then word came that his father was very ill and Stirling gave up the life of a chemical engineer and returned to the ranch in Carrizozo where the open spaces, solitude and fl ow of nature was unchanged.

The longer Stirling stayed at the Bar W Ranch – which is what it was now called after the brand that the stock had worn since 1869 – the more he realized that life here was what he wanted for a career. He loved the solitude, the horses and cattle and the unfolding of nature through the seasons. The quiet of the land was far more appealing than the life he had left as a chemi-cal engineer. In 1978 he bought controlling interest in the ranch and the Bar W Ranch became his life long career. It did not take him long to realize that “ he was working more and making less than he ever did in his life.” Stirling, however, is not your typical rancher and

he entered ranching with an analytical mind, used to thinking outside the box.

Basically Stirling said that ranch-ers 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 there-fore 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 Con-tinental 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 situa-tion 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 benefi t 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 los-ing weight. Thinking outside the box, Stirling considers every single thing that

will improve the effi ciency 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-year-old 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, fi x 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 fi ne 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, ranch-ing is a hard way to make a living. It is apparent that ranching is a labor of love with money not being a motivat-ing 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.

Walking tour of Lincoln historic site scheduled

Most New Mexico residents have visited the town of nearby Lincoln, but few know the history of the famous and infamous build-ings standing along Highway 380 in Lincoln County.

Almost everyone in America has heard of the Lincoln County Wars where young William Bonney fi rst came to fame, but have you wondered about the history of the still standing buildings along Highway 380, now named Calle la Placita? If so, you will have an opportunity on Saturday, Sept. 21, begin-ning at 10 a.m., to follow a VIP guided tour along the street, sponsored by the Lincoln County Historical Society.

Do you know that the entire town of Lincoln is now protected under the auspices of the State of New Mexico, under the name Lincoln historic site? There are six other protected state historic sites in New Mexico as well. See http://nmmonuments.org/ for information on these protected historic sites.

Lincoln Historic Site can be accessed online at http://nmmonuments.org/lincoln. Through a gift from the Hubbard Family Trust, the historic monument now includes 17 structures and outbuildings, four of which are open year round and two more seasonally as museums. Most of the buildings in the community are representative of the Territorial style of adobe archi-

tecture in the American Southwest.Once one of the wildest of all western towns,

Lincoln is considered by many historians to be the most authentic old west town remaining in the United States. The single road through town was once de-scribed as “the most dangerous street in America.” To-day, it is a community frozen in time – the 1870s and

1880s. During this walking tour, participants will be allowed access into most buildings that are usually closed to visitors. Lincoln to-day is a genuine antique, not a reproduction.

Rain or shine, participants will gather at 10 a.m. in the courtyard of the visitors’ center at the east end of the street (Highway 380). Participation is limited to 40 regis-trants. Reservations are strongly encouraged. Disabled participants may car-pool along in a mobile caravan to each building, as desired.

A $10 donation to the Lincoln County Historical Society will be collected to cover entry tickets into the Museum buildings and to benefi t the many activities of the LCHS. The donation will include a 22 minute video in the visitors’ center. A reception with refreshments will conclude the event at Dr. Woods’ Annex, 711 Calle la Placita. This building is the home of LCHS. Participants may wish to bring folding chairs, as desired,

for the reception. Please also bring necessary comfort items such as sturdy shoes, sunscreen, hat, water, um-brellas, etc.

Register at [email protected] or Con-tact Ray Dean at 575-648-5586.

Information is also available at the LCHS website, http://www.lincolncountynm.org/Calendar.htm.

With the right mix of talent and patient skill, even broken and discarded items become beautiful orna-ments and jewelry. For fi ve 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 fi sh 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 cross-es, 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 thank-ful 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. His work is also featured in the Four Seasons Mall at the bead store.

“There are so many ways people come forward to help the residents at the Nest. It is really remarkable. We are grateful for David and his dona-tions to the women at our shelter,” said Coleen Widell, HEAL executive director.

RAINED IN from pg. 3


The wrinkle recordA three-part series on why I stepped foot into an aesthetic medicine spaPart two: Which treatmentBy Sandi AguilarAdvertorial

When one steps in front of the Vectra 3-D imag-ing machine at Fusion Medical Spa, and the shock of seeing bulges, wrinkles, splotches, lumps – ev-erything on your body, from every angle, which it was not meant to be – wears off, prioritizing sets in. A plan begins to develop. Fortunately, Dr. Rath and his staff, with training, experience and most of all compassion, are there to guide patients through the process and the transformation.

TriPollarAfter a lengthy consultation and evaluation of

area development, TriPollar radio-frequency was determined the best course of action. It is not as in-vasive as a bladeless facelift, has a quicker recovery and has an incredible reputation for immediate re-sults. The procedure is simple and involves heating the tiny collagen under the skin and melts it into a smooth, wrinkle-free area. It is one of the best solu-tions for treating the weathered areas of the neck

and upper chest (décolletage).The melting of the fat cells reduces

the fi ne lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin, contours the body and also reduces cellulite. TriPollar technology was re-cently brought to the United States after achieving FDA approval in November 2011. Fusion Medical Spa is currently the only aesthetic medical facility in New Mexico that has TriPollar, but given its popularity, this won’t be the case for long.

Technically, TriPollar is the emission of radio frequency which disrupts the tissue below the layers of the skin stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms to promote new collagen formation leaving the skin tighter and fi rmer. The device has undergone exten-sive clinical safety testing and has shown no long-term negative effects. Typical areas the procedure is used on are the neck, stomach and thighs, but it is not limited to only these.

The radio frequency will reach various depths of penetration into and under the skin, creating a uniform distribution of fat cells. The power used is less than that of an incandescent light bulb. The only side effects documented are some redness and swelling which dissipate.

At Fusion Medical Spa, most of the staff, including Dr. Rath have used TriPollar to deter-mine results and side

effects. Dr. Rath was practicing on his stomach for toning. One of the nurses had tried it on one thigh and she claimed a noticeable difference between the lumpy one and the smooth one. Another nurse was doing her neck. According to the nurse, most of the current patients, men and women, were also having the loose skin and wrinkly waddle of the neck, chin and jawlines treated. The results are reported to be immediate.

The testimonials of clients all say the TriPollar motto, “Seeing is Believing” is true.

Well, let’s see.

This article series is a personal refl ection of Sandi Aguilar who underwent medical evaluation from a licensed professional to fully understand individual circumstances, expectations and limitations.

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

unawareStill in their night-

gowns, drowsy-eyed,

Soft baby clouds left sleeping there.

Then warming in the brilliant light,

The mountains glow and preen themselves

And rise up from the

desert fl oorLike 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.

Music and the Moon at Living Desert ZooColorado singer/songwriter Kevin

Dooley calls his musical style “Ameri-can Celtic.” Dooley sings with an American accent, but his Irish heritage is evident in many of his songs. A veteran troubadour, Kevin has played main stages at Rocky Mountain Folk Festival, Telluride Blues Festival, Memphis in May, and The Colorado Irish Festival, among others. He has opened shows for legends like Leon Russell and Bo Diddley, and contem-porary’s like Chris Smither and Catie Curtis, and has shared festival bills

with many well known performers. Dooley has also released a number of CDs, including “Moonlight Highway,” his latest.

Kevin Dooley will perform in the visitor center at Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 5:30 p.m. The concert is free, donations to the artist are appreciated. Following the concert there will be a Full Moon Walk through the zoo, with entrance between 7 - 7:30 p.m. Regu-lar park admission fees apply for the Full Moon Walk.
