A little about me

Hi, my name is Stacy Wilken (previously Donnell when I was married). I am just a mama trying to keep it all together with a side of ranching. (If you knew my daughter that's her favorite thing, ranch). I moved to Texas in 2009 where I fell absolutely in love with the culture and people (completely different than the dairy farms of northern Illinois). In 2012 I met a boy and followed him home to Abilene Tx. We had quite a few good years together but ultimately grew apart. We currently co-manage a small herd of cattle together while I raise quality working Standard Australian Shepherds as well as versatile AQHA registered horses. My horses are used both in ranch work and in competition. When selecting a mare and a stallion I focus on conformation, trainability, temperament, and bloodlines (I am a blood line junkie). The Aussies I raise all have certain qualities that I admire. I have a few girls that throw a lower drive Aussie perfect for those just wanting a companion puppy, while some of my other girls are higher drive and produce a good medium - high drive dog which is ideal for ranching. I believe you can never go wrong with being honest and that is how I run my ranch. For myself honesty is key to living life right. I strive to find the perfect horse or dog for people and if they happen to have any quirks I am 100% upfront about it. If you have and questions please feel free to reach out and ask!
