Colts, Colts, and MORE Colts

Here at the ranch we sure love the spring time and watching all the colts that are being born. However, now that all of those colts are being weaned we love to put our time and work into gentling them. The men not only teach these little guys but also learn so much from them! (I think the men learn more from the colts about patience then the colts learn from them!!)

Working Hard!

A long cattle drive

Last week the Double Dollar crew moved a bunch of longhorn cattle across the valley to a new field.
The start of the long journey.



The cows followed behind Austin in the tractor. This was his first cattle drive and he just learned how to drive the tractor a couple days before.
Hailey’s high school team roping partner, Hagen, came along to help.

Cowboy Jack and Cowgirl Reese! Reese has loved riding Beau and he’s become her favorite. He is so good to her and Reese’s mom never worries when she’s riding him. Little did Reese know that this would be her last time riding him. A wonderful couple from California purchased Beau soon after the cattle drive.
 

Hailey and her friend Kyle.
 
 
We are so thankful to those who came and helped us. It wouldn’t have been possible without all of our wonderful friends
.

And they made it!

Greg and the Dogs

Dogs play an important role is herding cattle. We’ve had our fair share of dogs come and go and just this past year we have been able to get a good herd of border collies going. It takes time and patience to train the dogs and Greg always says, “The meaner the better!”

This past summer we had three men from our Life Skills Program and each was in charge of one dog. They did a good job getting the pups ready for some serious training.

Here is a list of the dogs and what their talents are according to Greg:

Hotchie: Is a one year old male out of Kyle Stott’s dog. He is very obedient and loyal and follows Greg’s every move. Unfortunately, he worries too much about what Greg things but is gaining more confidence and guts!

Spike:  Will be one in March. Male and is also out of Kyle Stott's dog. He is very obedient for a pup. He looks into the situation before acting and will make an excellent dog.

Scar, Pepper, and Stubbs: Will all be one in March as well.

For such a young herd these dogs are really doing a great job and coming along great! It sure makes things go a lot faster and more efficient with good dogs around!

Life Skills Recovery Ranch

One of the most exciting things that is happening here at the ranch is the opening of our Life Skills Recovery Ranch program. We feel so blessed that we have been given the opportunity to give back to those who made need it. We have a beautiful ranch that we wish to share and feel like this program is just that. We feel so thankful to the men that have come to LSRR and want more to come and experience that same success that we’ve seen others accomplish.

At Life Skills Recovery Ranch, our goals focus on the merging of the 12 step recovery principles and applied work ethic. The daily practices of LSRR allow the Intern’s to experience foundational successes as witnessed in the daily accomplishments achieved by the work of their own hands. Through these achievements men develop a deep sense of pride and commitment to their endeavors. It is during these periods that we are able to pursue individual strengths and passions for life skills they would like to develop.
Abstinence combined with the responsibility required by this new way of life and the application of recovery principles demonstrates to our Interns a successful lifestyle. With extended exposure in this experience, the agent of change becomes deep-seated, new self-identities are built and the potential for long term sobriety increases greatly.
*It is important to note that it takes time to grow accustomed to the hard work and long day’s lifestyle. Although, the initial transition may be tough, it is worth all the effort as change is realized, accepted and even appreciated as interns come to realize their capabilities through productivity.
