Many people have contacted us and wanted more information about us, our family, where we live and our breeding plan. If you are one of those people then this page is for you! This is the farm/ranch where Marks family lived when he was born and Mark was raised here. He always knew that the farm and ranch was what he wanted to do so Mark went to college in Williston, ND for Farm Business Management. When he graduated he came back and took over the farm from his father, Vernon. Shellie was born in Kenmare, a small town north of Minot in North Dakota. She also lived on a farm until the family moved to Williston, ND. Even when Shellie was young when asked what she wanted to do when she grew up she would answer " I want to raise horses in the mountains in Montana". Now she says "two out of three ain't bad"... no mountains you know". Mark and Shellie are pictured with their children below.
Horses are not our only passion, there are some others. Grandchildren are way more fun than our own kids ever were AND they think we are more fun than their parents will ever be. It's a mutual admiration society!!
I have also put a couple of pictures of our landscape and ranch here for those that are interested.
Pictured: Top Left: Band of mares and foals out to pasture in the spring of 2007. Top Right: Sunset from our front porch, now you know why they call it "Big Sky Country". Bottom Center: Teepee ring in a pasture about 1 1/2 miles North of the house.
