The Lucky Three Ranch has been engaged in the production of top quality Brome/Orchard grass hay for the past 35 years. Obtaining top quality hay for one's livestock is not an easy thing to do. For this reason, the Lucky Three Ranch decided to grow their own hay. Producing good hay is a lot more than just growing grass cutting, baling and stacking to do the job right! Producing exceptional grass hay involves much more than you might think! Enjoy your journey with the Lucky Three Ranch Crew as they guide you through all the trials and tribulations of top quality, certifiable hay production. This is a video you won't want to miss!

Rock and Roll: Diary of a Rescue documents the progress of victories and set-backs that the Belgian Draft Mule Team encountered after being rescued from slaughter, first by Fran and Larry Howe of the Bitteroot Mule Company, and finally by Meredith Hodges and the Lucky Three Ranch team of professionals. This is a poignant story of how Rock gallantly gave his all and how his teammate, Roll, slowly emerged from his shell and learned to trust us and—even more importantly—himself. Our regimen of compassion, respect, patience and physical therapy helped both mules to obtain their own personal miracle. Rock and Roll touched everyone’s soul by proving they were ready, willing and able to give everything they could, straight from their enormous hearts...a touching story you won’t want to miss!
