"Wrangling" at the Ranch

Wonderful excitement this last week at the ranch. Tyler went to the sale barn and brought home a baby calf and two baby lambs!!! They are so cute!!! Tyler rolled into the ranch on Wednesday evening with his new pets, but the calf decided to take a stroll through dinner while everyone was getting their steak outside....he then proceeded to the front of the lodge. EVERYONE was chasing the calf round and round! It was quite comical. :) Finally, one of our staff "wrangled" the calf to the ground, Hayley proceeded to hold down the hind legs, and Tyler put on his halter. Check out this great picture of the "event" that one of our return guests took.

New Happenings at North Fork!

We have a few weeks under our belt and things are going great at the ranch. We've had wonderful guests already and can't wait to meet the rest of you throughout the summer. The spring weather is still hanging around here....warm mornings like summer, then afternoon showers and cool temperatures. You just never know what the weather is going to do in Colorado. Our Wednesday hikers even got snowed on last week on their way up Square Top Mountain!!!

There are new arrivals coming to the ranch soon......lots of exotic, baby chickens!! We already have four chickens but decided to add more that are quite different looking than the rest. :) We are getting a variety of colors that are sure to look quite funny....yet very cute. We'll see if they like to roam around the ranch when they are older like our other ones. These of course will join our three goats and rabbits in the petting zoo.

Dean finished the bridge to Stonehenge that was being remolded and it looks wonderful! It is wide enough for the 4-wheeler to fit across so we can clear brush along the river and has copper piping below the railing that looks very sharp. You'll have to come and test it out first hand.
