Pick a morning, or stay for the sunset

Every visit is hands-on. You'll brush the cows and feed them, and you'll probably take more photos than you planned. Spots are limited, and tickets go through our booking page.

Kris, Sarah, Addison, Landon and Brecken on the ranch

Hi, we're the Tesch family

We bought raw land in Bells during Covid, and before the fence was even up, Sarah was already shopping for cows.

Neither of us grew up with livestock. We started with three weanlings in 2021, dove in head first, and learned as we went. Today it's over 100 head of cattle, 6 horses, 6 mini donkeys, alpacas, a flock of free-ranging chickens, three kids who wouldn't trade it, and a sunset from our hilltop we never get tired of.

Support our ranch

Love the herd from afar?

This ranch is our home and our family's daily labor of love. Every dollar you contribute goes directly toward the real, everyday cost of keeping it running, from hay, feed and vet bills to fencing and barns. Thank you for being a part of our ranch family!

We're a working family ranch, not a 501(c)(3), so contributions are a gift and not tax-deductible. More about supporting the ranch

What people say

Worth the drive

“The Tesch family is very kind and welcoming to their guests! The property is absolutely gorgeous and animals are very well cared for and loved. Highly recommend their Cows and Coffee event for all ages. We were able to feed the cows treats, learn about the ranch and livestock, and of course give lots of pets to the cows, donkeys, horses and dogs.”
