Ranch Rodeo

So each year we put on a little ranch rodeo for the kids. We have a big dinner before and then start the rodeo! We have them use stick horses and they do barrels, poles, musical chairs, and a pack race! Its a great excuse to get all of our friends together!

Horses and Beef, Fair-Time Has Come!

This was Cashlee's first year for 4H! She showed 2 born-n-raised market beef and showed her horse Chief also! She had so much fun and did a great job! Porter and Oakley also decided to show this year. Porter did Leadline and Oakley did walk trot! They did awesome, Porter was so excited that he got a trophy!! Fairtime is defiantly a lot different with kids in 4H but we wouldn't have it any other way!

Summer Time Fun!

Summertime means checking cows, haying, and a little pipe changing in between! Sometimes it's nice to just have a little fun! What better way then some ranch roping! We are always looking for an excuse to get together with our friends and it is always a blast!
