A ranch that's been open to families for hunting in Mesa County for 40 years can't do business right now because psuedorabies was found in some of its pigs. Operations are on hold while state veterinarians test their animals.The Little Creek Ranch in Collbran is facing not only business troubles but an investigation by the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the Department of Agriculture.
It all started when the DOW stopped a truck taking pigs to the ranch last Friday. The state says its illegal to transport the exotic hogs and ordered the hogs to be tested.
But as 11 News Reporter Jessica Zartler explains whatever happens with the investigation, the business may not be able to stay out of the trough.
Nestled away in Collbran, the Little Creek Ranch offers breathtaking scenery and hunting for families.
"It's a nice place to bring families and enjoy Colorado while its still wild," ranch hand Steve Cook told 11 News on Monday.
Cook says Little Creek is about the only high fence ranch in Colorado to hunt wild animals like buffalo, elk and pigs.
