VIDEO: New Tanka Fund rancher partners Sovereign Ranch in Apache, OK
Sovereign Ranch in Apache, OK, is dedicated to raising Buffalo as part of the Timothy and Jessica Harjo family’s cultural heritage. Despite facing agricultural challenges and funding the ranch out of pocket, the Harjos are committed to growing the herd and passing on traditional knowledge to future generations.
Key Points
The Harjo family moved to Apache, OK, to expose their children to their heritage.
Sovereign Ranch began raising Buffalo through partnership with the Fort Sill Apache Tribe.
They faced land and fencing issues, prompting Tim to secure 80 acres from local tribes.
Sovereign Ranch plans to expand to 1,000 acres for 300 Buffalo. Despite challenges, the Harjos emphasizes the cultural and spiritual significance of Buffalo ranching for their family.
