Small Ranch Teton Valley, Victor Idaho

What constitutes a ranch? Some would say I have a small ranch here in Teton Valley. I guess a ranch is a property used for cattle production, although for me it takes a while to trot across a ranch. Size Matters? (foal born at home 2009)

We live in Victor Idaho and have had a few cows on the place. I really like calving at home where the family can share in the experience. We only have an 8 acre piece and I do not go around calling it a Ranch, but for some that visit from other parts of the country or other countries it feels like a ranch to them. I like the ranch life, even if I do not have a ranch. And I like Ranch People whether they have a ranch or not.

Harley,

My wife grew up next to her uncle's farm of just over 100 acres in PA. It has been in the family for over 100 years, I believe. She has seen her share of calving.
When we lived in NW Pennsylvania, we would have called your place a "farmette."

Can you have a "ranch" home on 8 acres if you don't call it a "ranch?" =) We have them on less than 1/5 acre in North Carolina.

See It. Experience It. Live It.

Harley, I love the way you have done your blog - background, theme, your profile picture etc.

According to Webster's dictionary, you have a rancho, which is apparently a way of saying a small ranch. A ranch is a large farm used for raising cattle, horses or sheep.

Fun question. Regardless, it looks like you are right at home on the ranch.

Hey Sandra, thanks for the comment.

I am having weather invey for Texas right now. Long Idaho winter.

Background theme I stole from a picture of my 14 yr old daughter and used photo shop to turn it into a drawing. She is quite a horseman. Thanks for the complement.

When I think "Ranch", I think 100 plus mother cows.

100+ mama cows sounds like a great "goal" to me.

Your daughter did a great job.
