NFL Hall-of-Famer and self-described "good guy" Terry Bradshaw is sitting in his 8,600-square-foot ranch house about an hour north of Dallas, sorting through his 40 quarter horses and trying to determine which ones he'll keep and which ones he'll sell.
This is all part of the ranch business cycle, Bradshaw explained to the Dallas Business Journal, in an exclusive interview.
"You raise them, you grow them, you show them and you keep the mares you want to keep and breed with your stallions," Bradshaw told me. "They have to produce and earn their keep."
The quarter horses were the inspiration behind Bradshaw's 750-acre Circle 12 Ranch north of the Red River — a venture Bradshaw has put 14 years and invested millions of dollars into, working to turn the once rundown property into a pristine working ranch within driving distance of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field.
Now, Bradshaw, who is also a resident of Aubrey in North Texas, is ready to sell the farm, with plans to put his ranch on the market Monday for $10.8 million. Bernard "Bernie" Uechtritz and Angie Nelson of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty is listing the property.
"I'm shutting everything down," said the 66-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback. "This place requires a lot of attention and someone that's really active on the breeding end of cattle and horses. I've done every piece of this property for 40 years. It's time I free up my time and move from this place."
Bradshaw has commuted from the ranch through Dallas-Fort Worth to work in California as a Fox Sports analyst. He doesn't like to be called a legend or icon. He prefers to be known as the "good guy."
