level off at about $50. Beyond
that it is hard for the staff to
know each boy personally, and
larger numbers make it difficult
to retain the family relationship"
Planning toward a goal of 10
cottages for the boys, the Boys
Ranch board hopes to construct
the first cottage next spring.
Present buildings on the ranch
include the main house, a utility
house, a tenants house, a ma
chine shed, a horse barn, a COW
barn, a loafing shed, a box stall
barn, a grain elevator, granaries
and chicken houses.
There are enough buildings to
take are of the ranch livestock
needs indefinitely" Robbie saic
The four-bedroom house in
cludes a large dining room which
will be used initially for feed
ing the boys. In the utility house
r milk cooling equipment, a
large walk-in freezer and two
additional storage rooms.
The tenant house, with modern
tile construction, will be convert
ed into the first cottage for boys.
A IS by 40 foot machine shed
will lend itself to shop work, and
part will probably be modified
additional cottage facilities
for the boys, Robbie said.
Riding horses, some already
promised to the ranch, will be
kept in the large horse barn. A
l2-stanchion COW barn is also at
tached. A large loafing shed, sur
rounded by feed lots with auto
matte feeders, also has a 12-stan-
chion COW barn attached.
A large box stall barn will be
IDEAL for All and FLA project
work for the boys, Robbie said.
We know one of the best ways
% stabilize boys is to give them
he responsibility of caring for a
,alf, a lamb or some little pigs.
We intend to have all kinds of
projects like that"
With the $4,000 bushel grain
elevator is a feed grinding and
mill, plus considerable adj
iitional granary storage.
Building expansion at the ranch
will take place just south of
present buildings. Plans call for

added.
Operation of the ranch is pat

Boys Ranch near Amarillo, Texas,

out the country.
The ranch buildings, originally
the hub of Sawyer's extensive
ranch operation, have been kept

all other buildings with galvaniz-
ed metal roofs.
"We feel that the place was
made to order for a boys ranch"
