Cowboy
life:
You will see the everyday workings of the ranch and participate
if you like. In the summer, most of the activities go
on at the summer ranch but the rest of the time, we are
busy working the ranch. You can pitch hay in the winter,
chop thistles, help mend fences or put out minerals for
the cows in the Spring. Feel free to grab a shovel and
join us.
Winter is our calving
season and it is awesome to watch calves explore the
world for the first time. So if birth is happening,
join us quietly to get a sneak peak of this fascinating
event. We brand in May and you may come to watch that
whole process.
I have three goats,
two of which we acquired 12 years ago. They roam the
hills with the cows and eat forage and brush. They love
woody stem plants and climbing on rocks. My goats are
now part of the wildlife of the canyon.
Roping
and riding:
Have you ever roped or wanted to learn? Well, here is
your chance. Come to our ranch and experience a real lasso.
You can have an afternoon session with one of our cowboys
and learn to rope. Along with roping you can learn to
ride. Our cowboys/girls will fit you to a saddle and teach
you the basics of horse riding. You may want to take one
of our canyon trails or just stay on the flat ground and
enjoy the riding pen. Either way, you are sure to have
a great experience.
