About us...

Hello, we are Mike and Catherine Murphy. We live in Franklin, TN, a quaint and historic artist and agricultural community 30 minutes south of "Music City" - Nashville, TN, and have been raising livestock since 2001 thanks to the encouragement of Pit & Linda Kemmer - Kemmer Ranch, Crossville, TN. Our efforts began with South African Boers and quickly grew to gaited horses and longhorn cattle. Our network of friends including Bobby McNatt (McNatt Farms) and Greg and Lori Beeson (Beeson Livestock Co) have educated us quickly and steered us down the path to breeding great animals. We still have our first cow, Daisy, and our first foal, Rocco, because we enjoy just watching them grow and getting to witness the development of the babies.
Our enthusiasm for gaited horses quickly grew after our first 35 mile ride in 2002. We sold our quarter horses and began getting Spotted Saddle, Tennessee Walker and Rocky Mountain horses. Since then we have made the necessary investments to grow our stock to world class foals bred to some of the best Stallions in the U.S...and recently added our own SSHBEA/TWHBEA/RMHA stallions by Premier Delight/Sun's Delight and Fairwinds Destiny/Storm Warning, both Grand World Champions. We now have 9 primary horses and 8 longhorns, all "keepers" that we hope will continue to produce some of the highest quality stock/pets in Tennessee.
