About RBR ~

River Bend Ranch is a small ranch nestled among the trees on the Avery Creek, 6 miles NW of Potwin, Kansas which is on the edge of the Flint Hills. The Ranch has been in the Otto Guhr family since 1962. Dale and SuZann (Guhr) took over operations in 2002 when they returned from 24 years in Africa working with the Africa Inland Mission among the Turkana and Samburu people (See The Africa Connection).

The Ranch is currently 122 acres (ok, mini ranch) of brome grass. We lease out the grass seasonally to local farmers for cattle grazing which helps financially in keeping the Ranch up and running.

History on the Ranch has seen raising of crops, cattle, hogs, & sheep. From 2003 – 2009 we raised Boer meat goats. In August of 2009 we felt it was time to move away from raising goats as we had so much trouble keeping them healthy with our Kansas weather and limited pasture. In September of 2009 we bought our first cows. We bought 2 Red Angus cows & 3 heifers. And so we hope this will be the beginning of our “cow/calf” herd here on River Bend Ranch. We expect our first calves to come in April & May.

But more than all the above, RBR is here for one higher purpose – to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ whom we love, trust, and serve. All the rest is incidental. We give Him the glory for all he has done & will do in our lives.
