At the "Broken Spur Ranch" we have numerous small animals to delight your family. Our mission is to have animals that bring a smile to your face and a twinkle to the eye of a child. To that end we offer the "Broken Spur Ranch" for the enjoyment of all.
Please stop out and visit with the animals, they would be happy to see you.
The pictures on different pages will give you an insight into what you will find at the "Broken Spur Ranch". A visit to the ranch would not be complete without taking a walk along the paths and catching a glimps of the magnificent falls that grace the property. Black Creek Falls flows down a gentle slope and creates a scenic atmosphere for your visit to the ranch. The falls are visible from the Petting Zoo area and a must stop location when you reach the "overlook".
The "Broken Spur Ranch" is the dream of SSG Kevin Lippincott, who is a retired member of the US Army stationed at Ft. Drum. Kevin loves the North Country and wants to stay in this area after retirement from the Army. He loves animals and with his love of the land the dream of the "Broken Spur Ranch" began.
The name of the ranch came about with another of Kevin's hobbies. Kevin was a rodeo bull rider when he was not actively supporting his role as a soldier. Due to a run in with a bull during a rodeo Kevin was forced to retire from riding bulls, his injuries only stopped his riding but not his love of animals.
The "Broken Spur Ranch" was formed so that others could enjoy the land and animals that make up the farm. Please take a moment and see just what makes up the "Broken Spur Ranch".
Hi, my name is Kevin and along with my family we live here at the "Broken Spur Ranch".

The "Broken Spur Ranch" has a lot to offer everyone.
The beauty of the land and waterfall is complemented by the animals that call the ranch home.
As with any
family our pets are our family. 
We have created a Pet Cemetery and the "Chaple of the Pine" here at the ranch and make these available to all our friends when the need arises. (Call for information.)

Our beloved WRAITH passed away on March 25, 2009. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.
The Broken Spur Ranch has hosted numerous Birthday parties, weddings and celebrations.
August 24, 2007 The studernts from the Theresa Head Start program were guests at the ranch. In the center photo Robert Hancock rides Cody.

Kevin participated in the sport of rodeo along with serving in the US Army.
Kevin rode bulls in numerous rodeos around the United States. He was the bull riding "Rookie of the Year" in 2002.
Kevin had to learn how to take care of the animals, they don't teach that in the Army. Roger does most of the mowing around the ranch.
The Broken Spur Ranch's "Community Building". Kevin built this addition so people who visit the ranch will have a comfortable place to visit the animals in.
Being a retired soldier in the US Army and running the ranch sure does tire a person out. Kevin rests with "Wraith".
We hope that you have enjoyed seeing pictures of some of the animals that call "The Broken Spur Ranch" home. Please stop out and visit with us, enjoy the scenery and animals.
The members of the Design Services family are proud to support the men and women of our Armed Services.
