OurRanch

We have 8 acres at the edge of Monticello, MO. The population of our little town is around 150. It is the county seat of Lewis County.

Our house is 100 yrs old and was built by a lawyer in the 1900s.

We decided to build a 2 acre lake about 4 yrs ago out our back door. We have a 100 yr old barn converted into cages and storage in the hayloft.

The single detatched garage was converted into our small animal shed which we are using as a workshop right now. We have our monkeys and dogs in our house with us so we can spend lots of quality time with them. We connected a 16 cage kennel building right to our house and are in the process of building monkey enclosures surrounding it on 3 sides. The monkeys will have inside outside cages just like the dogs. We strive every day to keep our pens and grounds in tip top shape and very clean.

We are very particular about our animals and their food. We start with very nutritious fruits, vegetables, and meat and make up meals in glad containers. Then they are frozen and given to them each night or every other night. The frozen food stays cold longer and gives them more time to eat without them going bad.

Tag Along Ranch was founded in August 2004. We are a middle aged couple that was suffering from the empty nest syndrome. We have been married for 31 yrs. 4 boys are all grown and have wives and children of their own. We both hold full time jobs. Hoping to be able to retire and just take care of our animals someday.

We decided to add some critters that won't leave home unless we let them. They also mind a lot better than those human ones.
