January/February 2012:
The winter months offer a peaceful quiet period, a chance to rest up before the busy warm-weather birthing & shearing seasons. We continue to be available for ranch visits throughout the winter season, however - just give us a phone call (505-473-9316) to arrange a specific day/time for your visit.November/December 2011:

September/October 2011:
October saw the arrival of 3 sweet little light fawn girls. Joy arrived on October 7th, out of our Legacy grandson BlueMesa Aftershock & Caligula granddaughter Jazmine. Two more girls were born at the very same time (!) just 3 days later, Krista born to our Shockwave girl Sagebrush Juliette out of our silver grey herdsire Misty Ridge's Silver Quest, while full Peruvian Caroline was born to our beige Nacara of Peru, fathered by our light fawn Caligula grandson BRCR's Peruvian Ricochet.

First to be born was a sweet white girl named Dora on Sept. 3rd, followed by our 9/11 striking black & white suri girl Penny. A lustrous light fawn suri boy Cimaron was born on the 17th, closely followed the very next day by our true black girl Tina. Finally, just in time for our NAFD open-ranch weekend, Jondalar, another gorgeous light fawn suri boy & half-brother to Cimaron (both sired by our award-winning herd sire Top Brass), arrived on the 23rd!
