Wyatt, Neri, Patty & Austin
|
The Barstow's family farm is in south central Kansas. Neri's parents, Marlan and
Shirley, purchased the ranch in Nebraska in 1976. Patty is a native of western Keya
Paha County, growing up on a ranch 25 miles northwest of their current home.
In 1987 the Angus herd was moved from Kansas to the ranch near Springview and
the AI program was started. Neri and Patty acquired their first registered Angus
heifers in 1988 from Marlan. In 2001 Marlan and Shirley moved to Nebraska and
bought a home in Springview to be closer to the ranch. Together, along with Wyatt
and Austin they maintain a herd of 200 registered cows. Marlan and Shirley are
Barstow Angus and Neri, Patty and boys are Rock Creek Angus. Our first bull sale
auction was held on a very cold day in March, 1992. A couple years later the sale
date was moved to April. Its now held each year, the second Thursday in April.
Although ranching is their first priority, the Barstow's also spend considerable time
on the road with Neri, Wyatt and Austin all taking part in rodeos and team roping
competitions. Both Wyatt and Austin rodeoed in high school and qualified for the
national finals. Austin also achieved a state championship in team roping. Wyatt
graduated from the University of Nebraska-Kearney where he played four-years as a
wide-receiver on the Loper football team while earning his degree in exercise
science. In May of 2011 he married Amanda Fisher and they now make their home
in Lubbock, TX where Amanda attends graduate school at Texas Tech. Wyatt has
resumed his rodeoing focusing on saddle bronc riding. In November of 2011 he
awarded the Texas Cowboy Rodeo Association Saddle Bronc Champion. Austin is
currently attending college in Texas and rodeoing for Vernon College. He competes
in calf roping and team roping. The rodeo talent was inherited from their father as
Neri also rodeoed extensively as a young man focusing on the rough stock events.
At thirteen years old, he was a Little Britches World Champion, then went on to be a
high school champion as well as a Mid-States Rodeo Association all-around
champion.
Neri has served on the board of the Nebraska Angus Association. Patty is also
involved outside of her ranch-wife duties. She owns a tax preparation and
accounting business in Springview and serves on several economic and community
development committees.
The Barstow Ranch invites you to visit anytime to view their Angus herd.
