Jason and Berry Skyfire ... all in a day's work, rollin' out rounds.

         

Although the Ranching Life is their main livelihood, it didn’t start out that way. Their grandparents, Dale and Ruby Perry came to Leoti in the early 1900’s. 

 Farming had taken root in this early settlement,  but a little livestock was always raised for food. 

Dale and Ruby also owned a cabin and motel in Grand Lake, Colorado where  they spent their summers after the farming was done. 

Soon after Dale and Ruby were married,  along came a son, Don ...  and as he grew so did his love for horses and cattle. In 1964 Don married Rita Harkness. Rita was a native from Leoti as well. Her father was a Blacksmith in the early days of Wichita County. Don and Rita met while she was working for Ruby during the summers at the cabin.  A year after Don and Rita were married they had their first son, J.D.,  followed by a second son, Jeff, the next year.  Seven years later,  any dreams for a girl  were soon forgotten with the birth of their third son, Jason. 

   

The Perry boys ... third and fourth generation,  still ranching in Kansas.

The boys grew up farming, raising cattle, and riding horses.  Don had several Percheron horses at the time that were used for farming purposes. The boys developed their own herd of cows as their father founded the  “Perry Cattle Company.”  Don instilled good work ethics in each of his boys, which has enabled them to branch out and find their own interest in the wide range of  Ranching and Farm life.  J.D. and Jeff have a Swathing and Baling business, run cattle and still ride horses from time to time.  Jason developed his own business as well, Perry Performance Horses. Jason and his wife,  Kendra,  have a son who seems to be following in their bootsteps.
