What is going on? We were just in the mid 60’s and we blink for one second and what do we have? Snow! It seems a bit early to be getting snow. I wonder if this is a sign letting us know we are going to get more than usual this year. … Read More
For us, August means the end of our summer guest ranch season, school starts and the county fair. We really enjoy fair week. There is a parade, horse show, livestock show, exhibits, rides (kids favorites) and the rodeo. Last year the Newton County Fair brought in a Little Britches Rodeo. If you think rodeos … Read More
Horseback riding is probably the first thing that comes to your mind when you think, “dude ranch”. Saddling up and heading down the trail, listening to the horses feet hit the ground, can be very therapeutic. It’s good for the soul. Typical Monday Morning Trail Rides – “Get to know your horse.”
“Working goats” is when you have to handle them for any reason. We needed to “work goats” because it was time to check to see if they needed worming, a few needed some extra attention due to some feet problems (they will be sold) and last but not least the young bucklings (little billies) needed … Read More

4th of July is one of our favorite holidays for several reasons, we get to see many of our friends and family, we get to shoot of an obnoxious amount of fireworks and we get to honor our fellow men and women who sacrifice so much to keep this country free.
When Barry and I worked at the Heart Six Ranch in Moran Wyoming (where we met), it seemed almost every steak cookout it would rain. All week long the weather would be warm and blue skies, picture perfect you might say but for some reason when the cookout day would roll around so would the … Read More
SPRING SEASON Spring is one of our favorite times on the ranch (next to fall). It is ever changing and most of all full of great families – new and old. There is plenty of time to come and enjoy this wonderful and interesting time of the year with us. It’s not over yet.
I hope you and your families all wintered well. The weather is turning warmer and the horses are feeling good and starting to walk on fresh iron. I think I even saw a hint of green when the snow melted…We have stayed busy this past fall and winter and have added a few new … Read More
Mother nature has brought us some “real” winter weather this season at the ranch. The first storm was supposed to be the “big one” but we seemed to dodge the bullet. Storm #2 Storm #3 was the biggest. We received 18″ to 20″. The weather man has said that our weather is going to only … Read More
