Tiger Ranch is Diversifying following the dispersal of its Milking herd in November 2004. The first of three stages of the replanting of Tiger Ranch Vineyard has recently has just been completed with Pinot Noir plantings. The 2004 Pinot Noir is coming together remarkably well and should be bottled and available within the next couple of months. Keep an eye on the Tiger Ranch Wines Icon for developments and vision. Tiger Ranch has been negotiating the purchase of a number of in foal Purebred Arabian Brood mares of predominantly Crabbet Lines with proven performance ability. Now with a new back - I might as well test it out on horseback. Stay tuned for updates. Another diversification is a small nucleus flock of Fullblood South African MN2 Boer Goats to add to the Menu. A section of this site will also be devoted to their development and status.
