Beatonites ‘06 & ‘07
The M3 Ranch is underthe loving stewardship of Bob and Arra Mae Matheison just outside of Asheville, NC, along the beautiful Pigeon River. Here it is their passion to raise Highland Cattle (oft times referred to as Heilan' Coos or Hairy Coos). I met Bob and Arra Mae on Alex's second '05 tour of Scotland. Little did I know that they were themselves sovereigns of such a Magic Kingdom. Iwas privileged to spend a day and a night on the side of their mountain with them, several members of their family, some good friends ... and the Heilan' Coos!
