Randy & Kathy Bates
Bates Bar J Ranch, located in the foothills of the
Rockies, 64 kilometers northwest of Calgary Alberta, has been a year-round working ranch and riding camp for over fifty years.
Time marches on and after 51 years of operating our youth camp, we have decided to retire. Having decided to sell the ranch property, we are holding an auction to
liquidate our stock and tack. The details are below.
We appreciate having had the opportunity to serve you and your children over the years. We have enjoyed teaching you and your children to love, care for, and
ride horses, and we believe we have learned as much or more from the campers as they have learned about horses. For this opportunity we are truly thankful.
