Some of our 4-H kids working to plant this year's garden at the ranch.

Spring 2008 is coming to a close and we've been busy at the ranch. The garden is in after a late Spring due to record snow fall this past winter. Repairs to the fences which were damaged by the heavy snow have also been completed. The vet, Dr. Hotham, has made his Spring visit to make sure all our animals are current on their vaccinations. We've held fund raisers for the ranch by selling raffle tickets on Mother's Day and Father's Day baskets. The 4-H kids had a talent show and have been leading the way in helping with the garden. Click HERE to see photos from our recent activities.

We are looking forward to many events and lots of fun this Summer. Many of the events deal directly with the operation of the ranch such as putting in hay for the Winter season. We will have a 4-H float in the Mars Hill parade on July 26. We are already in the early stages of planning for our 2008 Carnival Day which is scheduled for September 20.

Beyond 4-H, the ranch becomes very busy during the Summer with increased frequency of individual and group therapy sessions. Contact us if you know of a child that might benefit from time at the ranch.

On June 7 ranch staff trailered our two sheep to the Presque Isle Fair Grounds where the 4-H June Jamboree was under way. Jeff Svoboda from the Caribou 4-H group shared his time and talents to give the sheep a shearing and a hoof trim. The video below details Jeff's work. We extend a heartfelt thanks to Jeff for his hard work and his great instruction skills. We also want to thank Kendall and Warren Grass for the use of their truck and trailer to transport the sheep.

We just added a video from our most recent farrier visit. For a look at all our videos thus far you can check OUR CHANNEL at Youtube. Although only a couple videos are posted currently, we will add more soon.

Below you will find a list of businesses and individuals who helped us create our baskets to be raffled for Mother's and Father's day. Many also donated seeds to help with the garden. Without their help we would not have been able to raise funds to pay for our Spring vet visit at the ranch. Please check the PARTNERS page to see a full list of those who have helped us in many ways.
