Our Story

Our Circle J Ranch is a nearly 1,000 acre ranch located near Hempstead, TX. In 2008, my family, the Voncannons, purchased the Circle J Ranch. The land now known as the Circle J has had cattle fed on native grasses and natural spring creeks that have run through the property for over a century.

Since we purchased the ranch in 2008, we’ve been creating a cow operation focused on breeding cattle with the best genetics. We’ve nearly tripled the land that makes up the Circle J and have significantly expanded our cow operation in both size and quality. It’s been incredible to watch our dream grow.

Testimonials

Here’s what our customers say:

“We bought from Circle J when we lived near a farmers market they’d be at nearby. Now that we are further out, we ordered a cow share from them. We loved their meat we’d buy from the farmers market and are so excited about our cow share knowing all about Circle J we do! Highly recommend!” – Victoria Fisher

“I use Circle J for all of our beef at home. We love having a local ranch supply our meat. Pricing is very reasonable compared to the grocery store and you know exactly where the beef is coming from. Customer support is amazing. The team is responsive and helpful. We order 1/8 cow every year and we love it. Give them a try!” – Trey Misuraca
