Our Story

     Stephanie is a foster/adoptive mom, Pre-Vet student, Photographer, and Owner of Two Sisters Ranch in Southeast Idaho. She has been a 4-H leader on and off since 2006 after she was too old to be a member. She loved being a 4-H kid her teen years and did very well. She was the top showman at county and state fair almost every year in Dog, Rabbit, and Cat projects. Her daughter Airabella "Bella" followed in her footsteps and won top dog showman her first year in 4-H then went on to win Small Animal Round Robin, she also won Reserve Grand Champion goat showman. Grayzell "Zell" does very well in the Goat show ring, but doesn't enjoy showing dogs. Stephanie became a foster parent to teens in 2018 and enjoys introducing them to 4-H and Ranch life.

​

     Two Sisters Ranch was established in 2003 by Stephanie with her sister for their horses and dogs. Prior they established Nicole & Beth Rabbitry. Stephanie raised show rabbits for 20 years, her sister lost interest in the first few years. After showing dogs in 4H the plan was always to raise show dogs. In 2012 we started showing our Australian Shepherds in ASCA and AKC. We did enter our first registered Aussie, Jade in an ASCA show one time in 2007. Boston was our first real show dog though. Stephanie started doing AKC & ASCA Obedience trials with Logan in 2021. 

​

     We stated raising Mini Nubian dairy goats in 2019. The plan at first was just to get Old Dan as a pet. Stephanie saw Little Ann and fell in love. The plan was just to have her to provide milk for the family. Then we got Lily with the excuse that we would need a second doe to rotate breeding, to have milk all year. Of course then we we got a couple more. Shortly after we added a standard Nubian doe... then a few more because Bella wanted to Co-Own them. We show our Minis in MDGA shows and Standards in ADGA shows.

​

     Horses have been around most of our lives. The horse that started it all was Cupid. Stephanie rescued her at the local livestock auction for $55 in 2003. She was a once in a lifetime horse. She once saved Stephanie's life from an angry cow that just calved. Two years later Rose joined the ranch after being rescued from the sale as well. Every horse we have owned was rescued or an oops baby from a rescue mare. 

​

      Chickens have been part of our ranch for many years. We enjoy having fresh eggs. We do on occasion enter some in the State Fair or 4-H. Barn cats are a must of course. In 2019 we started raising calves to provide meat for our family.
