The first few weeks of the season have been amazing. We have welcomed guests from France, Germany, USA, UK and Canada.

Last weekend, the guests and staff from Tod Mountain Ranch were invited to the annual branding at our neighbours’ ranch. Gord & Chris Hudson raise cattle just a few miles up the road from us and we were thrilled to be invited to take part in this event.

After a full morning of branding, tagging and doctoring the calves, our guests helped to turn the cows and calves out to the pasture and then enjoyed a long lazy lunch on the lawn. Lunch almost proved to be too tempting for one of the bulls, who decided to break through the fence and join us on the lawn.

After lunch, we all enjoyed a few rounds of clay shooting and were amazed to find some real sharp shooters amongst our guests, particularly Daniel who was visiting us from France.
