This year was all about innovation, collaboration and some welcome reasons to celebrate.It opened with challenging weather yet sufficient grass that we did not have to feed hay for the second year in a row. Vehicle repairs and upgrades were many yet minimal in expense due to our volunteer mechanic and absolute Angel, Blake Noy. He finds discounts on parts and shops best deals that literally save us thousands of dollars. With the early Spring volunteers began early on big projects. We refit miles of fencing to accommodate Buffalo and were able to open up 200 prime acres of grassland and fresh spring water this took months to accomplish but was done entirely by Fathers who brought their teen sons and their friends on weekends to learn and have fun together. This year, more than any other we saw a real sense of community, people wanting to be out on the land, with the Buffalo and in Nature. Families spending time together. We really saw this in the Hunt and Teaching Programs with three and four generations of men traveling thousands of miles to share this experience.Women from as far away as Hawaii and local women ranchers got together to open a very densely overgrown stream and willow tree covered walking path, meditation and relaxing area that everyone loved and enjoyed. Women and chainsaws, heart and laughter, working together. They told stories of their encounters with the Nature Spirits giving them directives and they brought in miniature homes and tipis as gifts for them. They spoke of healing and calm and feeling such joy in this place and being with each other. More women participated and visited this year, encouraging us to grow and make more available for them.After so many years listening to the fears of locals and neighbors worried about having Buffalo as neighbors we have breakthrough! They are bringing their children to view the Buffalo and are literally scouting and reporting predator and trespass situations when they occur near our borders and when they see danger for our animals. Community and Collaboration! Yes!A touchy landowner situation that has been in negotiation for years finally resolved. Sacred Ground has a new 105 acre Native Land lease that we are paying prime dollar for and worth every penny to have peace and happy neighbors. We are known nation wide for our Buffalo programs but very little known within the Buffalo Ranchers Associations and growers communities. I was so surprised and honored to speak at the Montana Bison Conference in Bozeman. Our philosophy and management practices are very different from the mainstream and yet my talk was met with enthusiasm and high praise for our bold choices and high success ratios comparatively. Many new acquaintances, many conversations requesting more information and insight into how others may begin a more holistic outlook and management approach. We are making a difference and the door is wide open to become more publicly involved.It is time for greater expansion, staffing and resources and I am researching, reaching out and exploring the many innovative and now far more supported outreach options and income enhancing models being developed around nonprofits in particular. Our dollar donations were lower this year, HOWEVERwhat is not recorded are the hundreds of hours and thousands and thousands of dollars saved by the people who came to help. That is huge value and more importantly a huge measure of our success in fulfilling our mission. It has been a very good year. 73529 73529 TANAH WHITEMORE President/Treas 40.00 2500 BAERBEL STUETZLE Director 2.00 0 IXCHEL LEIGH Secretary 1.00 0 GENEVIEVE BOAST Vice President 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false TANAH WHITEMORE PO BOX 78 PRYOR MT 59066 4062456070 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 3990 11856 15872 6573 2872 41163 0 0 3990 11856 15872 6573 2872 41163 0 41163 3 8 32 2 1 46 0 0 41209 309731 0.99890 0.99890 X Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $988 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $5985 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $646 Other Expenses.1008 Interest $2025 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $15905 Other Expenses.1 RANCH FOOD & SUPPLIES $9737 Other Expenses.2 LEASE EXPENSE $5651 Other Expenses.3 VET AND ANIMAL SUPPLIES $5437 Other Expenses.4 PROPERTY TAXES $5090 Other Expenses.5 AUTO EXPENSE $4628 Other Expenses.6 FUEL $2898 Other Expenses.7 DUES AND FEES $2297 Other Expenses.8 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE $1740 Other Expenses.9 RANCH/SUPPLIES $1685 Other Expenses.10 FENCING $995 Other Expenses.11 CREDIT CARD FEES $530 Other Expenses.12 MISCELLANEOUS $305 Other Assets.1 AUTOMOBILES - Beginning $42337 AUTOMOBILES - Ending $28871 Other Assets.2 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - Beginning $1334 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - Ending $849 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $13369 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $9469 Total Liabilities.1007 Secured Mortgages and Notes Payable - Beginning $23695 Secured Mortgages and Notes Payable - Ending $19241 Total Liabilities.1008 Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable - Beginning $13000 Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable - Ending $13000 Total Liabilities.1 SBA LOAN - Beginning $18933 SBA LOAN - Ending $18452
