DRD Ranch - Cottonwood, CA

Thank you for visiting the DRD Ranch website. We welcome you to this site and to our ranch. We are located in Cottonwood, California.

Dallas and Donna Robertson started the DRD Ranch almost thirty- five years ago. Since its inception, we have successfully raised, trained and shown Morgan Horses, Quarter Horses, Australian Shepherds, and Nubian Dairy Goats.

Even as children, Dallas and I have always had a love for horses and dogs. Although we didn't know each other when we were young, we both loved camping and riding in the mountains, gymkhanas, and being around our dogs. My first horse was a Morgan mare named Boots. I rode her anywhere and everywhere, even just laid on her back to look at the clouds. Dallas and his family rode Quarter Horses at cuttings' and raised Australian Shepherds, some of which came from actor, Victor McLaughlin.

At DRD Ranch, we are dedicated to promoting Morgans that have outstanding dispositions, intelligence, size and versatility for show and family pleasure. We showed our Morgan stallion, Pemberton's Oradon, and Palomino mare, I'm Margo Nugget, to many wins in Western and English Pleasure, and Saddle Seat. They were tremendous mountain horses too. We are looking forward to promoting our 2 year old Palomino colt, DRD Fine Gold, in reining cow horse competitions.

Our Quarter Horses are bred as working cow horses. Their breeding, size, dispositions, and movements show it. Although they are young at this time, they will be very competitive in the very near future.

The Nubian goat herd began with a need for goat milk. Not for humans, but for my friend, Sue's orphaned foal. We found “a milk goat” of non-descript breeding. After the foal was weaned, we set out to find better does. Being long-time Nubian admirers, we searched many local ranches before we came upon a top-notch ranch, Bull Pines Ranch. With many years experience raising quality animals, we knew that these were top animals. Within a week, we came home with 5 four month-old doelings. That same year, our children showed them at the Fresno District Fair in the 4-H division and came home with a Junior Champion and many ribbons.
