​

Stories From the Ranch was born from the everyday adventures of Twisted Spur Cattle Co., a working cattle ranch in Georgia owned and operated by first-generation ranchers Mark and Elena Stanfield.
 

What began as a dream of raising cattle has grown into something more.  It is a place where every animal has a personality, every day brings a new adventure, and even the smallest moments can teach some of life's greatest lessons.
 

Inspired by the real animals and experiences on our ranch, STORIES FROM THE RANCH brings these adventures to life through beautifully illustrated, agriculture based children's books.  
 

Our first collection, Wrylie's Tales, follows a remarkable little heifer born with a crooked nose who reminds us that being different doesn't mean being any less special.
 

Through stories of faith, hope, perseverance, and kindness, our mission is to help children discover the wonders of agriculture while reminding them that they are wonderfully made, deeply loved, and capable of overcoming more than they ever imagined.

Real Ranch Life.

Meaningful Lessons.

I'm Elena Stanfield, a first-generation rancher, children's book author, and storyteller who believes some of life's greatest lessons can be found in the most unexpected places, including a pasture full of cattle! My husband, Mark, and I own and operate Twisted Spur Cattle Co. in the heart of Georgia. What began as a dream of raising cattle has turned into a life filled with hard work, unforgettable animals, unexpected adventures, and a whole lot of learning along the way.
 
One thing ranching has taught me? You can make all the plans you want, but the cows usually have other ideas!  Around here, there's never a shortage of entertainment. Every animal has its own personality, some have a little more attitude than others, and there's always somebody getting into something they shouldn't, and just when we think we've seen it all, one of our four-legged residents proves us wrong!
 
Through Stories From the Ranch, I turn those real-life adventures into children's books filled with laughter, heart, and lessons of faith, hope, perseverance, and kindness. The characters aren't dreamed up — they're real animals with real personalities, and believe me,
some of them couldn't be made up if I tried!
 
Come Along for the Adventure!
There's always something happening at Twisted Spur Cattle Co., and I can't wait to share more of our adventures with you!  From Wrylie's latest escapades to the unforgettable characters who call our ranch home, I hope you'll discover a little laughter, a little inspiration, and a whole lot of heart in every story. More than anything, I hope these books remind children that they are wonderfully made, deeply loved, and capable of overcoming more than they ever imagined.
 
So pull up a chair, make yourself at home, and come along for the adventure.
I can't promise the animals will behave,
but I can promise they'll give us plenty of stories to tell!

Welcome to STORIES FROM THE RANCH. 
I'm so glad you're here!
