Most
Frequently Asked Questions pages are created to place questions that people ask. We will do that, but we are also going to place questions that we asked ourselves. Questions that we feel may be relevant to maintaining and keeping
The Thomas Ranch current and up-to-date with modern times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is this website on the Internet?
A: There are several reasons that
The Thomas Ranch is on the Web.
- To be informative, with clear and precise information available in our Reading Room.
- To show a positive side to the Cowboy and to Promote our Heritage.
- To possibly raise money to help support the day-to-day operations of The Thomas Ranch, using our Adopt-A-Cow program and our Ranch Store, with branded merchandise.
Q: What function or role does it play?
A: There are several and here are a few examples.
- Information dispersal
- Promotion of the Western Way of Life and of the Cowboy.
- Keep products available for promotion
- Allows the World a chance to Adopt-A-Cow.
Q: Is the website eye appealing?
A: We believe our new layout is very eye appealing. Keeping the website up-to-date with modern advancements should be easy.
Q: Is it easy to navigate?
A: Yes, with our new drop down navigational bar, located on the left side, of the web pages.
Q: Does the website flow from one section to the next?
A: Yes, it also has an identifying logo (top left of every page) to match what section a browser is in. For example the main web page and all
Cowboy pages will carry the same logo, but if you are in the
Fishing section there will be a fish instead of an Angus Bull, in the
Hunting section there will be a deer. We believe that this will help tell the browsers what area they are in.
Q: What is the overall theme to your website?
A: The Thomas Ranch will maintain a
Western theme, based in orange, designed to show a positive figure for the
”Cowboy” and all
Western based ideology.
