James N. Farnham, a true cowboy and gentleman, has lived on the ranch all his life.  Jim was born in Portersville, California.  He grew up on cattle ranches in New Mexico and California.  He ranched in California during the 1940's through 1970's running cattle by himself with working dogs.  His first purebred Kelpie came in 1965.

Jim is highly recognized in the embryo transplant industry.  He developed his expertise in this area during the 1980's and 1990's, then living in Arizona. He "retired" in 1997.  Retirement means devoting all his time and energies to producing top working Australian Kelpies with an emphasis on cattle.

Please note the photos at the bottom of this page.  That's "Buffalo Jim" on the left and Jim, the "Marlboro Man" on the right.  The "Marlboro Man" photo shoot was in the 1970's on Jim's California ranch, his gear and horse, and lasted 10 hours.  The "Marlboro" photo is taken from a magazine ad.  Jim said the advertisement was also seen on billboards, in addition to magazines.
