“I vividly remember sitting next to her (Karoline) as she spoke about her goals and dreams with the same intensity and passion she does today…She’s truly a visionary and it has been a pleasure to watch her bring those dreams to life over the years. This is a gal you want to be sitting at your table…

Schedule

Day 1

Arena Work

The first day, we will all arrive at the Rose Cattle Company Arena and get to know each other! We will dive in immediately with some sorting and moving cattle around obstacles in the arena. We will then work on roping and dragging!

Day 2

Exploring the Backgrounding Lot

When working cattle you will have to navigate corrals and maybe even work in a feedlot yourself! This day will be all about working through gates, alleys and corrals. We will also cover how to identify sick cattle and doctor them!

Day 3

Gathering in Summer Country

We can’t wait for this day, gathering cattle in the beautiful, wide open spaces of summer country! We will be going up to White Sulphur Springs and working cattle out in the pasture. We will be roping in the pasture and doctoring!

Are you a woman involved in agriculture who wants to feel more confident on the ranch and handling cattle?

Then She’s a Hand Ranch Camp is for you!
