Devil's Hole Ranch is owned by Jeff and Paula Menn. Jeff is a pediatrician by profession and goes by the handle "Doc." He is a full-time practicing physician. He has an office practice at Neighborhood Family Clinics in Sparta and LaCrosse. Additionally, he serves our local Amish communities with a “house call” service. He is a scholar of the "Old West" and an avid storyteller (check out Doc’s Dialogues). He knows every inch of the land and has a love for cattle, horses, and the ranch lifestyle. In addition to serving as an owner, Doc is also the head wrangler for the cattle drive events and trail rides.

Paula spent many years as an English and Speech teacher at the high school level and worked as an instructor at Western Technical College. She spent 20 years as the President of the Board of Directors of the Historic Temple Theatre in Viroqua, WI. She raised four children and currently has 19 grandchildren all living nearby. Currently, she is managing rental properties on the ranch and two vacation stay rental houses (Airbnb and VRBO), while supporting ranch operations.

The Ranch began as a family-run operation and continues to be so with the Menn's daughter, Aurora, and son-in-law, Gabriel Slattery, now managing the 4,000 acre ranch. With a lifetime of ranching and farming experience and the love for cattle and horses deeply seeded in their characters, Aurora and Gabriel "Gabe" are the power couple running and moving the Ranch forward. They live on the ranch with their growing family.
