In the News Arizona Highways Lead to Snowflake 2/8/10 The magazine, "Arizona Highways" may sound like a truck stop rag, but it is actually a glossy, high quality, award winning magazine with a great reputation and interesting articles all about what you can find in Arizona. And in the March 2010 edition all roads lead to Black Mesa Ranch. It's a lovely article about the ranch and cheese making, along with great pictures of the goats that make it all possible.

GOAT LOVE AT BLACK MESA RANCH It's the goats. I can't get them out of my mind. I'm a city kid so I'm naturally somewhat apprehensive when faced with live farm animals. Like cows-they're so big-how can you be sure they're all that docile? And horses, they bite and kick if you're not very careful. So these goats at Black Mesa Ranch up in the White Mountains-as soon as they see you, they come running, trotting, or in the case of the little two-day old ones, tottering toward you with a look of steady determination in their goggly eyes and you've heard, well, that goats eat anything, and you can't help but wonder…am I lunch?
