The Lake Douglas Ranch is located on 26
acres in Fort Christmas, Florida - between the Econlockhatchee and
St. Johns Rivers, on the east side of Orange County.The Ranch is
a working cattle ranch, raising quality Brangus beef cows and is
also the home to several retired horses, since cutting and herding
is now done via helicopter and ATV.
The Ranch also sponsors amateur rodeo competitors in rough stock,
roping and speed events. You will find team members competing in
rodeos across the United States wearing distinctive Lake Douglas
Ranch shirts.
The Ranch has also been the site for the filming of several
movies and television shows, including a recent documentary on the
use of helicopters to move injured patients to the regional trauma
center following a simulated tractor accident.
The Ranch is registered with the United State Department of
Agriculture (USDA) with premise identification and is a participant
in the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The Ranch is
also a certified testing site for Advanced Agricultural Technology
Systems (AATS), including RFID ear tag deployment, herd management
and tracking, and video surveillance.
