Douglas Lake now includes BC's first cattle ranch, Alkali Lake Ranch, as well as Circle S Ranch, Quilchena Ranch, Riske Creek Ranching, and the infamous Gang Ranch. It has had a succession of wealthy owners including Charles \"Chunky\" Woodward of Woodward's Stores and current owner, US real estate and sports mogul Stan Kroenke. It has recreational facilities and is known for hosting celebrity guests like Prince Philip, billionaire media mogul Malcolm Forbes, and others but, as this book shows, it is a serious working cattle ranch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving grown up on a BC ranch, author Donna Yoshitake Wuest brings an insider's understanding to the subject. Working closely with the ranch's long-time manager, Joe Gardner, she provides a detailed history from its founding by John Douglas 140 years ago, through innovations in quarter horse breeding and deer farming to helicopter cowboying. Together, Wuest and Gardner provide a fascinating account of the day-to-day operations of a large modern ranch as it faces the challenges of running an integrated cattle, forestry, and recreational business. The book is rich with stories about the ranch's wealthy owners, celebrity guests, and hard-working cowhands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46719628738796,"sku":"9781990776427","price":84.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0b70591621e5065baa008c04d226ddfa.jpg?v=1754914681"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/donna-yoshitake-wuest.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
