Once you've taken out the candles (and toothpicks or whatever else you might have used to create a masterpiece!), bring your pumpkins to the ranch with you this weekend!

Pumpkins are a nice treat for some of our animals here!

Hairy Palomino Cows

A small mob of cows for your consideration. 1 bull, 2 pairs (steer and heifer calves) and your all set to go.

Showcase your million dollar 20 acre property with this pretty family. Your wife can have her farm house match the view out her window! She will love it. We can even deliver and make it a surprise!! How can she say 'no' then?

To be honest, the bull is quite majestic. He is like the gorgeous pouting long haired scottish warrior on the front cover of a historical romance novel. He should have been named 'Murdoch the Brave' but of course some kid named him 'Sparkles' and it stuck. So of course we like to tease him and he knows it and tosses his head at you every time. 😆 He's quite gorgeous and conformationaly correct. Lots of folks have gone out and purchase Highland cows and now need a bull to breed to. So 🤷‍♀️ Age? He's on the young side of 5 years, same as the cows.

Cows are flightier then Gelbviehs but quieter than Salers. 😆 They seem to enjoy the Taylor Swift music the kids play in the arena 🤦‍♀️ and like to come up to watch the girls ride. Very curious and sweet. (I feel like they should have their ear tags bedazzled with rhinestones)

Selling because they won't stay or integrate with the main cow herd. Apparently they are Scottish royalty, and don't like commoners.

If you want a small herd of cows to dabble with, that are photogenic and impressive, these cows with flowing locks could be yours!

It's International Day of the Girl!

🤠 Hats off to all of our cowgirls, from ages 2 to 99! Our cowgirls are strong, empowered and beautiful inside and out!

Why is there an International Day of the Girl?
11 October has been a key global moment to celebrate the power of girls and highlight the barriers they face since the United Nations adopted it as International Day of the Girl in December 2011.

While there has long been an International Women’s Day and an International Day of the Child, neither of these days recognise the unique position of girls who are discriminated against simply for being young and female.

The aim of International Day of the Girl is to empower girls and amplify their voices to share the issues they experience across the world and the support they want from the international community.

This is a great visual to compare anatomy!
Did you already know that a horses entire lower hind leg compares to a human foot, or did you learn something new today?

Ever wondered how our anatomy compares to a horse’s? 🧐 Check out this colorful schematic of a human foot and a horse’s hind limb! Did you know that our heel is actually the equivalent of the point of the hock in a horse? 🦶➡️🐴
