Post a CommentThis ranch would do better if it would pay for items it has bought, I wouldnt trust my family to be safe here, the ranch might just have decided not to keep up on all its obligations. You never know what a cheap ranch might decide is or isnt important. There are much better places with a better reputation for being honest and trustworthy.
This sounds like a lovely place!
