Michael Jackson Never land ranch will be auction off next month, If you had the money buy it?

September 302009

$25 Million dollar ,,,, Michael Jackson Never land ranch will be auction off next month, If you had the money would buy it?and give it back to Michael Jackson?

If I had the money to buy it I would sell it back to him for less because that was his "childhood" home. Where he was free to roam and be childlike since he didn’t have a childhood to do so….regardless of the rumors and accusations about what when on there. I am not God so I don’t know if any of it did or did not happen. So yes I would give it back to him.

Can you make pizza with ranch dressing instead of tomato based pizza sauce?

September 302009

Posted in ranch | 13 Comments »

Would you use regular ranch salad dressing or water it down or something, it is pretty thick and intense.
What would be good for toppings?

NO! You wouldn’t want to. The dressing would separate in to an oily mess. I f you must have this my suggestion would be to cook the pizza dough completely, have your toppings cooked, drained and hot then put the ranch on the the pizza bread.Add your toppings and some cheese and pop pizza back to oven just to melt cheese.

Suggested toppings: grilled chicken, thinly sliced zucchini and red onions.

Just as I researched the Heartland movie I also researched Montana Sky. I could not find the actual location of the ranch for either. The only thing I could find out was that Montana Sky was filmed in Okotoks, AB.

The actual locations for both of the movies seem to be a well guarded secret. If it was my ranch being used for a movie, I’m not sure I’d want it publicized either especially if it’s a working ranch. Can you imagine the disruptions having sightseers could do.

Sorry, that’s about as much information as I could find and I spent a long time researching. I guess if it is important for you to have the information you could possibiity write the Director’s Guild in Calgary or phone them at:

Know of any working guest ranches/dude ranches?

September 302009

I would like to take a vacation to a working guest ranch in the U.S. where you go and actually do the work. However it has to be a place where there are things to do for people who don’t want to do any work and would rather relax. I want it to be a place where I can spend one to two weeks there.

just google "dude ranch" or "working guest ranch" into your browser and include the name of whatever state you are interested in – I have found hundreds this way! usually most will tell you on the website whether they can accomodate your interests with regards to relaxing/working, but you may have to make a few emails/calls.

Where can I find a grant to start a horse ranch/riding center?

September 302009

I have dream of having a ranch since I was little (2y/o) I come from a very low and fixed income home. I want to set my ranch up to have about 150 acres in Stephens co. Oklahoma and give riding lessons to childeren that come from families like mine for free. I also want to eventually start a horse rescue on my ranch. To acomplish my dream I will need well over what I can afford at almost 1 million just to get started and set up. If you know of any grants that could help please let me know..

Unless you set up your operation as a non profit, you’d be hard pressed to find any grants. It is hard to find grants to start a FOR PROFIT business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business.

Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html

"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business — THERE’S NONE.
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show

Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program

Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs

I am a guest at my best friends house& she is making me change my babies diaper outside?

September 302009

Is this normal.

I am kinda hurt cause she lets her dog a Doberman eat right at the table in its very own chair, but my baby is unsanitary….How do I best handle this.
NOTE:She lives on ranch and no hotel/motel near by.

Outside? Really?!? No, that is not normal.

I would totally understand if she asked you to go to another room, but it is completely ridiculous to ask you to exit the house. Honestly, I would leave…but if that is not an option or not something you want to do, then ask her why she is behaving this way and tell her how uncomfortable it makes you.

Advie on getting a Job at a Ranch?

September 302009

any advice on getting a job on a working cattle ranch as a cowboy no a dude or guest ranch?

Almost every working ranch is always looking for ranch hands. The work is hard and out in the heat or cold. It is hard to keep good workers. Check with your local ranches. Just walk up to the door and tell them you are looking for a job.

We maybe buying a old dude ranch. One of the rooms was used to slaughter cattle. We need rid it of neg energy?

September 302009

we will be using the complex as a rescue for animals. It felt wrong in the room suffocating almost. And its right in the middle of the two barns were the horses would live. This is my main concern with the property. Any ideas on how to "heal" the room?
If you don’t have anything constructive to say then DON’T respond and move on!

If you’re religious, get a clergy member to come do an exorcism. If you want to do it yourselves, all you have to do is burn sage. You can either use a "smudge stick" or sage and cedar in a bundle which you’d place in a ceramic dish and burn. Native Americans originally used sage to clear a negative energy field; nowadays people use it to eliminate everything from germs after an illness to "bad vibes".
