  • The name “Ten Triple X Ranch” and brand “xXx” are homage to the telecom business that allowed Joe & Connie Mitchell to purchase the ranch. The Mitchell’s company, VarTec Telecom, had invented a new method of long distance marketing called “Dial Around” or “10 Triple X” dialing. The “10 Triple X” dialing method was hugely successful. The telecom nomenclature of “10 Triple X’ had a “ranchy” feel to it, along the lines of 40X hats, 20X Denim Jeans, Twisted X Boots, and many other Old West themes. Since Joe enjoy’s paying recognition to the “one that brought me”, he named the ranch the “Ten Triple X” or “10xXx”, with the brand of “xXx”.

    To help explain the “10xXx” ranch, the information below may add to our standard explanation:

    1. The number 10 is commonly known as the best of any group… on a scale of 1 to 10, this ranch is a 10.
    2. In the same vein, XX on malt liquor stands for “double quality” and XXX stands for “strongest quality.” This designation dates back to 1827.
    3. In medieval days, Inns were marked as XXX by the kings escorts as Exceptional as a place to spend the night.
    4. In western lore, the X has always stood for quality.
    5. 100X beaver hats, Long X ranch, Twisted X boots, etc.
    6. In terms of sizes, XL means extra large, thus XXXL means extra extra extra large.

    Thus the 10xXx Ranch is the best of the best, highest quality, extra large cattle & wildlife ranch.
