We will be installing 4 of the pipe fences, and most of our northern boundary looks like the fence picture. We will be repairing 5 gap fences and installing 2 new sections. Click HERE to see the existing fences and what the replacement pipe fences will look like. These are the days this summer that I (Judy, our Workday Coordinator) plan on working on the fences. July 20 August 17 September 21 October 19 I’m partnering with a Boy Scout group in May, and I hope to partner with the college rodeo club, ANB Bank and the Job Corp.

Horse Lists

August 2019 Horse Report Please print this horse report when you go on the range and report any findings to Marty or Billie (contact information is on the form). Click HERE for the report. Horse Tales Billie Hutchings wrote some fun and interesting stories last year (2017) in the member newsletter about some of the horses and bands. They give you a first-hand look at their behavior and how they move about on the range. Here is a link for members to revisit them, or if you are a new member, they will initiate you into the wonders of our horses on the range. Click HERE to read the stories.

By purchasing a CORSAR card you are contributing to the Search and Rescue Fund, which will reimburse these teams for costs incurred in your search and rescue. Funds remaining at the end of the year are used to help pay for training and equipment for these teams. Anyone who purchases a current hunting/fishing license, or boat, snowmobile, ATV registration already contributes to the fund. The card is not insurance and does not reimburse individuals nor does it pay for medical transport. It reimburses sheriffs for eligible costs involved in the discharge of a SAR mission. The CORSAR card is available for $3 for a one-year and $12 for five-year card and can be purchased at over 300 retailers in the state. You may also purchase a card on-line. Click HERE for more information and to purchase the card online. Amigo Animal Clinic Brochures
