Jake Takiff owns Cedar Springs Farm in Hotchkiss, Colorado. He is transforming an overgrazed ranch in the high desert with minimal water rights into a lush perennial food forest by practicing agroforestry, water management and rotational grazing. Currently they produce beef and pastured pork while they tend to the tens of thousands of trees that they’ve planted. They are creating a model farm that prioritizes ecological balance while remaining highly productive and economically viable.
Jake also works part time as an ecological engineer and water management consultant for Restoration Agriculture Development, helping fellow farmers and ranchers worldwide make the transition from conventional agriculture toward regenerative practices. Jake uses his decades of experience to help create profitable and sustainable systems for his clients.

Joyce is broadly experienced in almost all areas of stockdog work, and brings 40 years of seasoning and a deep, problem-solving approach to her clinics.  Her methods are well proven: she is the only person to represent the USA four times at the World Sheepdog Championships (held every three years in the UK).  She also places consistently in the very competitive "classic" sheepdog trials, such as Meeker, the USBCHA National Open & Nursery Championship, the Bluegrass Sheepdog Trials, the Canadian Championship, and others, both in North America and overseas.  Most importantly, she has accomplished this with home raised and trained dogs.

Competitive successes aside, Joyce believes that competition is merely a way to measure the dog, it's training, and the dog-handler partnership.  The real measure of success is a dog that reliably, effectively, and efficiently accomplishes needed daily livestock management jobs.

Joyce's clinics are popular and in demand.  She focuses on helping participants achieve their goals (whether daily ranch work or international competition) and solve the problems that they face.  The techniques that she suggests are tailored to fit the dog, the job, the handler, and the handler's values.

And although Joyce concentrates mainly on Border Collies and working with sheep, don't be put off!  She and her students have achieved success with many breeds of dogs; in venues ranging from ranch work, to arena & field trials, and  to commercial nuisance bird control; and on livestock ranging from poultry to sheep to goats to cattle.  Her deep training tool kit means that she has something useful to offer to everyone.

Wild Rose Equine offers equine massage and PEMF sessions for equine, livestock, and pets.

She is based on a ranch located near Cedaredge Colorado at the base of the Grand Mesa. Horses have always been apart of her life.

She loves that massage and PEMF are non invasive ways to improve the physical and mental wellbeing in your horses and to help build a bridge to a better relationship with them whether they are pasture pets or high performance athletes.

She is looking forward to meeting everyone and being a presenter at the Four States Ag Expo.

Living in London for 2 years showed Korby how clueless the world is about ranching and the mysterious Cowboy. He became extremely passionate about sharing the Western lifestyle, specifically teaching people how to work on a cattle ranch and eventually become ranch owners themselves.

Living on a ranch and training horses for nearly all of his life prepared Korby to start his own ranch. Being a wrestling coach and a missionary helped Korby to be able to explain things simply and teach them effectively. 

With over seven generations, dozens of belt buckles, and nearly 13 years of hands-on experience, training horses, and managing cattle. He has gained the skills and the expertise to help you live your dream life of being a Ranch hand or a Ranch owner.
