Juniper Flail Ranch

Juniper Flail Ranch is a comparatively tiny ranch located a good ways north of Purgatory Gulch. The three families of this ranch are struggling to keep their small herd in good shape, but dream of expanding their capacity someday to rival Larchblossom Ranch or Cottonwood Fog Ranch.
Cattle rustling as a swift means of herd expansion has not been completely ruled out.
This is especially a consideration as Juniper Flail is currently reduced to only a single herd of seven sheep, their cattle having fallen prey last season to a nasty run of "Violet Nose".

Alterations

Juniper Flail Ranch has got more permanent structure devoted to water storage and hay storage than it has living space. The "ranch house" is more of a conglomeration, really, with wings built on at random as need develops. Right now the place resembles a ramshackle old Geldar Republic noble's manor, with the common areas in the front segment of a hollow rectangle and the well (and container-based garden) shielded on its other three sides by the sections belonging to each of the Juniper Flail families.

It appears on the flank (for ungulates)
or leg (for fowl).

Families:
  • Hubert 'Brawn' Hayward plus grown children Hilduin 'Hilly' and Adda 'Adder' Hayward are Halfling locals with no trace of Copan Shire accents.
  • 'Hollow' Hal Higgins and Lizzie 'Lawful' Higgins are definitely not hiding out from any other governments. Nope.
  • Zion 'Hustler' Fowler ain't asking. Or talking. Whatever. Let's just work, huh?
