Seven
generations of this West Texas family have loved the land, added
to its productivity and its value and lived from its benefits.
It all started in 1865, when James Henry Hensley and his wife
Elizabeth and their first child settled near the headwaters of
the East Keechi Creek in Jack County.

Through
five more children and two subsequent marriages, Elizabeth held
the family together and accumulated some 1,600 acres, stocking
it with high grade cattle. One of her sons Henry James Hensley,
first a cowboy, then cattle trader turned rancher, was able to
enlarge the ranch to 8,000 acres. His daughter Willie Ruth and
her husband Evan Cater Richards, through purchase and inheritance,
built the ranch to its present size of just over 15,000 acres.
Two of their children Henry Richards and Dorcas Hackley continued
in the ranching business, as have Dorcas' son John Cater Hackley
and his wife Charlotte. Their son Brent extends the long line
of Hensley descendents to work this ranch. He and his wife Cindy
have added the seventh generation to Richards Ranch history –
Hunter Eastman Hackley.

horseshoes to hiking, picnics to paddleboats! |
Ranchers are the original conservators of wildlife. |
| |
| For
134 years, Richards Ranch was strictly a cattle operation.
In 1999, the family made the decision
to offer limited hunting and fishing on the ranch.
With that endeavor a success, the ranch now offers
even greater opportunities for eco-tourism. Avid hunters
will appreciate the abundance of trophy class whitetails.
The ranch three-day guided deer hunts. You may also
hunt feral hogs, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and quail.
All hunts comply with Texas Parks and Wildlife guidelines.
Fishing is incredible on any of Richards Ranch's tanks
– which range in size from small ponds to an
six acre lake. black bass, crappie, perch and both
channel and yellow catfish make big ranch fishing
a very big day. |
