WhipStaff Ranch and WhipStaff Rescue


From it's humble beginnings in the cold winter of 1990 to today, WhipStaff Ranch continues to maintain our tradition of preserving heritage breeds of livestock and poultry.  We are deeply concerned with the loss of important genetics in livestock, and have dedicated much of our ranch to preserving these beautiful and useful creatures. 

We work as a family to create one of a kind handcrafted items.  You'll find our Country Store chock full of down home honest country workmanship!  From Afghans to Embroidery, Quilts to traditional Native American crafts you'll find the perfect gift for a loved one- or yourself!

WhipStaff Rescue is a multi species animal rescue program housed here on our ranch and throughout a network of caring foster homes.  We find homes for animals that ordinarily would be killed.   Animals available for adoption are screened for temperament, healthy and socialized. We act as the main hub of the rescue, and our network of foster homes work hard to make a better life for animals in the Rescue's care. 

WhipStaff Ranch and Rescue is a NON PROFIT 501c3 organization dedicated to rare breed preservation and the betterment of companion animals in our community.  Donations are fully tax deductible.


Please enjoy your tour of our ranch.  If you have questions please give us a call or drop an email.

And the question everyone asks... why is your farm named WhipStaff Ranch?
WhipStaff Ranch was named after 2 things.  First, the haunted mansion on Casper the Friendly Ghost was named Whipstaff Manor.  If you saw our house when we first moved in- you'd know why we chose the name.  Secondly, anyone that has visited our ranch knows that we are pirates and fly our colors with pride.  A Whipstaff is a long pole that connects the tiller to the wheel on a deep hulled sailing vessel.  This pole turns the tiller to change the ship's tack.  We aim to be a tool to change the thinking of people to create a humane community.
