Visits
to the Ranch
Here
at Bar 6 Diamond Ranch we have found it necessary to close the ranch to
visits. We have imported and brought in quality animals. We
live with our animals on our ranch in a very rural area which we moved
to in the past year called - in South East Kansas, The four States area. We have wide open spaces and beautiful area to live.
We
work closely with our vet
to ensure the health and well being of our animals. We
are truly blessed to live and work in such a beautiful area of our wonderful
country. We used to very much love to share it with those who had interest
in our animals. The beauty and history of our area was a joy to share and to
behold.
Sadly,
as time went on, and our animals became in high demand; we started to
discover the dangers that our family, human and animal alike, faced by maintaining
our open ranch policy. On our farm, we started to have issues where people
were wanting to just show up, whether we were here or not; this started to
cause us concern so we started inquiring to the policy of others. We found
that there had been an increase over the last few years with internet
related crimes. We learned of people who used the internet to case homes and
farms, for later theft, from having a whole herd of goats stolen, to a bitch
that had pups taken....We learned of people who would knowingly and/or
unknowingly bring disease onto other's property by handling a sick animal
and then trying to or visiting another's property. We learned of homes which
had possessions taken even while people were home due to the distractions
caused by others in the party, and sadly, learned of those that came with
the intent of doing harm to the animals or individuals, then or at a later
date.
We realized with having people coming in and out
we were risking the health and safety of our family, our animal family and human family.
In this
time we live in, it is unfortunate, but there exists an increasing number of
individuals who have bad intentions and by allowing visitation and having an
open Ranch, we were risking not only the health,
but the safety of our human family and our animal family as well. Crime
in the home due to internet access is on the rise, and even though we do try to screen
those interested in our ranch, we have to be wary of the all to real threat of
people with other intentions. We have learned that not matter how well you
think you know someone, you cannot be sure of their intent, as in the case of Bobbi
Jo Stinnett or more recently Kansas
Poodle breeder Lori J. Heimer, whose horrific murder still remains
unsolved as of this update.
We
regret the inconvenience this may cause, as we know many people wish to
handle all the pups, or play with the goats, romp
with the puppies; however all our
animals are raised under the best care, with 24 hour 7 day a week care
and vet access; with all of them handled and loved as they need for what
they are being raised. For example, with the ones raised LGD working dogs as in the
Great Pyrs we stimulate them to human attention, but don't overly bond them to
people, or the Border Collie and Dalmatian, we
handle enough to make them have
wonderful personalities and stimulate them as their young minds need to meet
what they need to do as an adult. In any
animal we raise, our focus is for type and temperament first, then
size and coloring,
and so on, so your critter will bring you as much joy as they have brought previous
adopter's of the animals we raise.
We
thank you for considering new addition to your farm from Bar 6 Diamond Ranch.
