I had my first ranch (in the cattle business) in Arkansas in 1990. This was my first introduction to cattle, horses, chickens, goats and Great Pyrenees dogs. It was then that I fell in love with the ranch life and everything that it had to offer. My daughters were barrel racers and did rodeos over the next decade or so. We moved to Oklahoma in 1998 and continued our ranch operations there until ar
ound 2003. At that time, we moved to Northern Virginia at which point I had to let the ranch life go.........for a little while. In 2019, Jeff and I purchased 233 acres of a historical plantation in Midland, VA and the ranch dream was able to continue! We currently have horses (including miniatures and ponies), cattle, donkeys, goats, lambs, chickens, great pyrenees, rabbits and pigs. We are constantly growing our business and are now offering horse/pony rides & lessons, farm tours, beef sales, birthday parties and events, field trips and even allow volunteers to come help out and see the Mountain View ranch way!
