The Kokernot o6 Ranch is one of the largest ranches, covering 2 of the largest counties, in Texas. Founded in 1912, this ranch is worked the same as they did 100+ years ago with cowboys rounding up and working cattle on horseback. The o6 Ranch is some of the most beautiful land you will see with its deep canyons and tall mountains.
This is a private ranch and has been owned by one family for over 100 years. As an attendee of the Shooting West Texas Photography Workshop you can be one of the few that get to experience and photograph the West from once upon a time.
This ranch has been featured on RFDTV “Cowboy Authentic” and Country Roads. Waylon Jennings even made made a short film about his experience on the ranch. Here’s the link to Waylon’s short film on YouTube: http://youtu.be/b6mqwe-mtzs.
The fall is the time when the cowboys bring the cattle down from the high country. We will see the cowboys gather and drive the cattle down to headquarters from different areas of the ranch. There are approximately 3,000 head on the 180,000 acres.
We will photograph the cattle in the pens, cattle drive, cowboys on horseback and some cowboy portrait opportunities. Night photography will be offered at the ranch for those that aren’t too tired to stay up for the night sky.
You will get to experience the historical cowboy way of life and document it through the lens during this unique opportunity.
– Workshop is produced by Vicki LeBlanc and supported by ThinkTank, Mpix, and Red River Paper.
