Summary
The Lazy F Working Guest Ranch COMPLETELY fits the definition of a "working ranch" ... The Lazy F Working Ranch has been in my family as a cattle ranch since 1853.
The Lazy F WORKING RANCH (Roundup time) and Lazy F GUEST RANCH (not at Roundup time) programs teach guests how real cowboys work. And then the guests get to try it "hands on." You don't just watch, unless you want to. It ain't all about horseback riding. DO NOT MISS ... if you do all the "hands on" work my cowboys and/or I do, then you ARE a cowboy. If you learn to round up and pen cattle, brand, rope, vaccinate, castrate, tag, deworm, doctor, sort, and take to market the animals you rounded up, THEN YOU ARE A COWBOY. Or a cowgirl,.
In addition, you can eat round a camp fire, learn to shoot, learn to rope, learn to repair fence, feed cattle from the back of a truck, haul hay, put out mineral and salt, etc. etc. Not all cowboy work is done on a horse ... oh heck no. The rest of this definition is right on the money ... if you don't come at roundup time, what you get to do may depend on what's going on when you are here. Or what crisis arises that requires immediate action, such as cattle on the highway or in the neighbor's pastures. You are not required to work, but can help if you wish and learn a lot in the process.
This is for those guests who want hard work with their adventure. The Lazy F GUEST RANCH (not at Roundup time) program is much more relaxed and geared to your speed. Mostly riding and daily ranch chores. In both programs, YOU learn to take care of the cattle, the horses, and the ranch.
