Descripción
We are a 3rd generation family owned ranch located in the West Chilcotin of BC, surrounded by beautiful mountains, lakes and wildlife.
Our animals consist of cattle, horses, dogs and cats. Our busiest time of the year are the spring and summer months. Calving starts at the beginning of April and runs until mid-May then free range turn out begins. This includes range riding on horseback, quads and dirt bikes. We begin irrigating at the same time. We put up all our own hay - haying begins mid-July. Once fall rolls around we round up the cattle. Winter hits and work slows down, we mostly spend the days feeding cattle and working on odd jobs like building fences and repairing the machinery. Every day is a new adventure with an assortment of jobs to be done.
Our interests consist of hiking, mountain biking, dirt biking, canoeing, hunting, snowmobiling and many other outdoor activities.
The ranch has all amenities such as running water, power, wifi, phone etc. We don't have cell phone service. We have 2 main locations. One is located right in Tatla Lake which consists of a Restaurant, motel, general store and a health clinic etc. This ranch is backed onto Tatla Lake itself. The second location is in a valley, 20 minutes away, with the Homathko river running through it.
