An old working ranch

by | Mar 28, 2012 | fat cow studio | 13 comments



 Back in January, I had the pleasure of visiting my friend’s ranch that has been in his family for several generations.

This sweet couple work tirelessly organizing the old cars, trucks and farm implements that dotted the fields.
They are restoring all the buildings on the ground, even this little house that was home to a ranch hand

The little house still has dishes and water dippers in the kitchen area
More farm implements
Our sweet tour guy..

More farm implements…
and trucks…
I love this old blinker on one of the old trucks
more farm implements……
The watchman…
This is just a few of the photos that I took of this amazing ranch.  This young couple loves this ranch and it shows in the loving way they are restoring every inch of the place.  You may recall a post I did on them a few months ago..Gaddy Farm
Thanks Sam and Shelbie for letting me visit your home!  As the oldtimers used to say…you are good folk!
