"We May Be Small, but Quality is Our Goal"

"Moomom"

Welcome to the Raptor Ridge Ranch, located Loomis which is in the foothills of the Sierras in Northern California.  We have
been raising cattle since the 70's and in 1984 were introduced to Pinzgauer cattle at our local college.  Since then we have stayed with  purebred Pinzgauer cattle and never looked back..  At the start we had named our ranch Mini Acres after our first cow, a Jersey Angus who had 11 calves for us, her last two were Pinzgauer crosses.  We have changed the ranch name to Raptor Ridge because of all the hawks and owls that live in our area.  The Red Tailed  hawk in the Logo was just taking off and I was able to catch his take off. We now have several families of Red Shoulder Hawks nesting close by.

At the moment have a small herd of 4 mother cows bred back to our new bull BR EXPLOSIVE (AKA "Buddy") and  2 heifers . New calves by "Buddy" arrived this spring and they were super. Two are off to the Steer Shows for 07.  Check out our Pinzgauer Page for Cattle for sale and more info on this fine breed.

In addition to our cattle we also raise Australian Shepherds, check out our Aussie Page to see what is happening with our dogs.  We have a litter coming in January our of our new girl (Hallie and Chase). This should be a great litter of all around dogs that will make great show, performance, or working , what ever way you want to go puppers. We may also have a summer litter with Tilly which should be a great performance and working litter.

  See our upcoming Litters and Puppers available.

Down at the barn you will also find "Filly", Peppermint Pati's 27 year old daughter. Peppermint (AQHA name Peppy Polka) was a granddaughter of the great AQHA sire PEP UP. "Filly" (registered  name Sweet Sasions) is by Sweet Daddy a top running Quarter horse in California and later stood at stud  in Brazil. Sweet Daddy is out of the great mare, Vandys  Katsy who also produced Sugar Vandy. We also added a nice Grullo filly we are calling "Holly" to the barn.  Holly is coming four and is breeding stock paint. She will become my new "do it all horse".  She is pretty good on cows, loves the trail and really has a good mind.

We lost old Peppermint at age 34 on March 16, 1999 to complications of old age. She is now buried on a hillside sharing a pasture with cattle, donkeys and other assorted wildlife.I had owned Pepper since she was a foal and also owned her mother. She traveled with us for a tour of duty in Hawaii. Sailing over by boat and returning by plane has made her quite a traveler. Peppermint has her ROM in Western Pleasure and has points in Western Riding, English Pleasure, and Halter. We spent many an hour pleasure riding and just enjoying the out doors. Peppermint showed in halter until she was 32.. The picture was taken at the 1996 Loomis Basin Horsemen's Association Horse show. She was first in the Old Timers Halter Class. This class is for horses 20 years old and over.

Peppermint was always there to listen to me when I needed someone to talk to. It was hard to say goodbye as Granny was a friend and pal. She will be loved and missed tremendously by all she touched. We know she is galloping through the hills up above watching over us. We love you Granny
