OUR RANCH

Location:

We are located on 50 acres in Sonoraville, Georgia in the foothills of the appalachian mountain chain - about 40 miles south of Chattanooga, TN and 50 miles north of Atlanta, GA.

Our location provides us moderate temperatures throughout the year, rainfall that produces lush pastures of mixed forage, and clean air breezes.  This area has long been known for producing cattle and is near the home of Salacoa Valley Farm, a top Brangus producer for 30 years.

Our Land:

The rolling hills of our pastures make it difficult to hay, but ideal for grazing.  All of our pastures have wooded areas to provide shade and shelter. They are all adjacent to automatic watering areas that have been environmentally designed and built to provide drainage and dry footing. A deep water well delivers clean, pure, toxin free, water.

Our Pastures:

We chose to cross fence our land with 5 strands of smooth, high-tensile, electric fences.  This type of fence provides a "mental barrier" versus a "physical barrier".  Our horses and cattle learn quickly that it is not pleasant to touch or lean on the fence, but in a panic situation they are protected from injury that might come from barbed wire.

We then divide those fenced areas into smaller MOB grazing areas with temporary electified rope fencing.  This allows us to vary the size and shape of each grazing area to ensure good nutrition and maximize pasture health.
