Oak Springs Mountain Ranch
We Take Pride In Our Ranch. Oak Springs Mountain Ranch consist of 411 acreas of pasture meadows, hay fields and woodland. We love to horseback ride or four wheel, checking on fence and cattle and just wondering over the beautiful mountain range.

Oak Springs Mountain Ranch has a small herd, 36 head at the present time. The herd is mainly black angus cattle with some crossbred cows. The ranch carefully selected a registered Black Angus Bull named Jeremiah. He's been a jewel producing some high quality calves.
In trying to clean up more pasture land, the ranch has taken on producing Boer Meat goats along with our two Great Pyrenees pups.
We enjoy eating fresh farm eggs produced from our own hens.
We also raise a garden with fresh vegetables and are in the process of constructing a greenhouse. We have fruit and nut trees which helps with the grocery bill too.
Visit our picture page to see our chickens, goats, horses and dogs. We try to keep friends and family up-to-date about what is going on around here.
Below is an aerial pic of Oak Springs Mountain Ranch. If you look closely, you can see the old homestead, garden, hayfield and even the cows out grazing in the field.
Spring is finally here!!!
There is so much work to do. We are still cleaning up from the ice storm, cutting up limbs that have broken out of the trees. Most of the damage was done to cedar and pine, but their is also quite a few limbs broken from hardwood trees.
The hay meadow has been cleaned and is now ready to be fertilized. It is already turning a lush green, but we plan to give it a further boost.
The garden has been tilled a couple of times trying to get the soil ready for planting. Seedlings are ready to be planted outside once it warms up enough.
And the livestock is enjoying fresh grass, after a long, cold, windy winter. The boer meat goats have their 40 acre tract of land and it's going to be interesting to see how much they can clean up this year.
Sadie and Ranger (Great Pyrenees puppies) are now six months old and weigh around 60 pounds each. They eat lots of dog food, but are so cute!
Ringo now has a partner, her name is Tequila Sunrise and is a black and white paint. Tequila is a 2 year old filly.
Tequila is the new addition to the farm. Here, Tequila is wondering what is on here back! This is the first time she has had a saddle on. She did really well; not trying to buck or anything. There are more new pictures of her in the photo album. She has a very sweet disposition and with a little patience, will be easily trained.
