| As new owners we took over the 52 year tradition of the Sehnert family. We intend to carry on that tradition while offering new attractions to enhance your enjoyment at our ranch. We believe in family connections, solid values and a love of the cowboy mystique. ALthough we have a ranch manager, whenever possible we share our meals and all of the ranch activities with our guests. |
