There is always something to do on the ranch and having tools that make things easier is essential.
I own or use every item on my list and very much recommend buying them.

Tools I use on the ranch
This thing makes fence tightening so much easier and a one man job. I use this tool all the time and it’s been a game changer for a one woman show.
The Texas Fence Fixer
This Stihl electric chainsaw is a must have tool. Lightweight and super easy to handle. Comes in very handy when doing fence work and need to clear trees. I keep mine in my buggy all the time. Super convenient with the battery instead of gas.
Battery Operated Chainsaws
They have everything you need for ranching, farming, pet care and lawn/garden.
Tractor Supply Co.
Exceptional mower. Smooth ride, fast when needed and super easy deck adjustment.
Zero-Turn Mowers | John Deere US
Shoulder strap and handles make all the difference, can weed eat for hours with no fatigue. Easy to change the head and self feeding string makes loading string quick and easy.
STIHL Trimmers & Brushcutters
Real work horse, great for tackling those overgrown areas too big for a push mower. Easy to start, easy to maneuver and easy to change the string.
Walk-Behind Trimmer Mowers
A must have, especially when doing fence work. You never know what’s going to break and how dirty ranch work is. A good pair of gloves is a no brainer.
Women's Work Gloves
Great tool to keep in the car for those unexpected flat tires.
M18 FUEL 2 Gallon Compact Quiet Compressor
Mostly used for gardening but also good for hay/feed storage
Polytunnel
Must have tools for installing goat fencing. Pulls it nice and tight for easy securing.
Fence Stretchers at Tractor Supply Co.
I freakin love this flashlight. Got one for Christmas and it is awesome. Nice and small for easy packing, very bright and has multiple uses. Lightweight enough to clip to your cap, jacket or bag. Rechargeable. Highly recommend!

The longer you wear and wash these shirts the better and better they get. Good for working in or dressing to go to town.

Rolling Ranch Boutique
Always a great place to find clothing in your style and size.
Women's Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry & Watches
I buy Wrangler jeans at Walmart for work. Working on a ranch you are always going to get dirty, and probably ruin jeans with diesel, grease and oil. So I don’t pay tons of money for work clothes so Walmart is the best place to get them.
