Overview
This booking is for groups of 1-4 people. The tour fee is per group, not per person. If you have over 4 people in your group please contact us directly at, info@cyrusridge.com, for booking. This tour typically lasts 90 minutes. Our business adventure tour is for folks who have are looking to dive into raising, or breeding Miniature Scottish Highland cattle. We will start our business adventure tour by sitting down under our gazebo where you will tell us about your goals, dreams, visions, and what you're looking to achieve. Then, we will adjust this tour to fit you and your needs. You will have the opportunity to ask any and all questions you have regarding farming, and raising or breeding your own mini Scottish Highland cattle. You will have the chance to see our facilities, equipment, for calves and adults, and check out our current farm layout. We are an open book and will share what we have found, through trial and error, to be the most efficient and helpful to "get the job done". This tour is typically 1.5 hours long to allow you the time needed to really pick our brains. We are also here to have a little fun so during this tour you will have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery as we take the tour tram down our gravel pathways to meet some of our Scottish Highland breeding stock. We will spend some time getting to know their names, personalities, and a bit more about the breed. We will also be checking out our weaning field. This is where you will have the chance to have some hands on interaction with the Scottish Highland calves. This could include petting, brushing, nose boops, cow hugs and kisses. Plan to leave here a little dirty, with some slobber on your pants, poop on your shoes, and your heart filled with lots of love! We will make every effort to let you feed all of the cows treats provided by our farm, and take all the photos with your phones that your hearts desire to share with friends and family! No videos during this tour, and photos cannot be used for commercial purposes. While this is a Business Tour, keep in mind this is still a farm. You’ll likely encounter loud animals, the freshest urine or poop imaginable, slimy slobber, and visual lessons on procreation. Please dress accordingly. We cannot control the mood of the animals, so no guarantees on the level of interaction they will allow. *Please note, we do not have public restrooms*
