                 MY CALIFORNIA TRAVEL BLOG – A DAY AT RASKIN CATTLE RANCH

                                                        By Tim Blanchflower

I spent most of last summer holiday in California on the beach – and who wouldn't? However, one day I got the chance to try something a bit different - to go on a day trip to a working cattle ranch just north of Los Angeles. That's what I'm going to blog about today.

Although the ranch was only about 50 kilometres from where I was staying with my uncle, it took ages to get there because the traffic out of the city was so bad. Fortunately, our guide and coach driver, Maria, kept us entertained with her stories and jokes.

The Raskin Ranch is located in a beautiful little valley, and has been home for six generations of the Raskin family. It has been a family business since 1895, providing an income from both the cattle and the guest house. These guys know what they're doing!

I fell in love with the place as soon as I arrived. The people working there walk around in jeans and cowboy hats - not as part of a tourist show, but because that's the most practical way to dress for the work they do. These are real cowboys, though it should be said that they prefer to call themselves cattle ranchers.

The first thing we did when we got there was eat lunch. You won't be surprised to hear that there was one thing on the menu: steak, cooked on a barbecue. I’m glad I'm not vegetarian, because I have never eaten a steak as good as that one. In fact, every steak I've eaten since then has been a bit disappointing in comparison.

You'd think an afternoon and evening at a cattle ranch wouldn't give you a lot of time to experience the place, but it was incredible how much we crammed into a short visit. First thing after lunch was a riding tour of the ranch. Don't worry if, like me, you haven't had much to do with horses in your life. These animals are well-trained and calm - perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike.

Later, I learnt how to lie and throw a lasso (a rope for catching cattle) and how to build a campfire. They don't teach you that sort of thing in school! I can't say I was very good at either of those things, to be honest - but it was fun giving them a try!

By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted but happy. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to go to California again, but if I do, I'm definitely going to pay a visit to the Raskin ranch. It was better than any beach!
