Why BAR -V- BAR?

The story behind our brand started about 100 years ago with John and Marguerite Vaos. The -V- sheep & goat brand graced the backs of countless sheep throughout Routt, Moffat, and Rio Blanco counties over the years, and it has made its way down 5 generations under the stewardship of the hard-working and smart women in our family. Marguerite passed the brand to her daughter Mary, Mary to her daughter Rose, and Rose (through her oldest son, Frank) to her grand-daughter Francesca Counts.

For us, the -V- brand represents resilience, adaptability, resourcefulness, and the reminder that sometimes the greatest strength comes from the most unexpected places (and people!). These are the ethos that we wish to continue to pass on through our family and the community of families we are blessed to work with.

Watch out for Adylee St. Martin! Not very many kids can pull a goat out of the pasture and take 5TH OVERALL in a jackpot, less than a week later. 🔥

We’re more than proud to have you showing one of ours, kiddo!
