The ongoing drought has reduced his herd from a high of 400 mother cows to the present 150 head. Managing stock-water and rotating cows to good grass lands keep Fred and his long-time friend and helper, the cowboy poet Dick Gibford, quite busy. Fred was born in 1933 and in 1944 his father, Juan Reyes and uncle, Eugene Wegis, bought the Walking R Ranch. Unfortunately, tragedy struck the family with Fred’s father passing away when Fred was just 15. Fred understood his new role and he and his hard-working mother, Gertrude took over the cattle operations. After graduating from Maricopa High School, Fred attended Cal Poly studying Animal Husbandry and achieving a certificate in Horseshoeing. In 1955 Fred volunteered for the draft and went into the Army for 2 years and met his future wife, Jean while stationed in Virginia where they both worked in intelligence and security. Jean’s first thought when she inspected the ranch was, “This will be an adventure!”. And an adventure it has been. Electrical power arrived to the ranch in 1969 and life was looking up…. Fred and Jean will celebrate 58 years of marriage this September. Fred and Jean raised two daughters, Juanice and Melanie, on the remote ranch. Melanie lives in Santa Maria and Juanice lives with her husband, John in Washington state. Growing up, both daughters were active in showing livestock at the Santa Barbara County Fair. Fred himself showed livestock in those early days, one year raising and showing not one but three Champion Steers; one at the Santa Barbara County Fair, one at the Cow Palace, and one at the Santa Barbara Expo.

Fred was the first to commercially bring Brangus and Beefmasters into the Cuyama Valley. For over 10 years Fred also raised pure-bred Corriente cattle which were marketed to roping enthusiasts.
