Tenacious Unicorn Ranch

WESTCLIFFE, COLORADO - APRIL 13: Bonnie Nelson poses for a portrait while holding her RPR 300 Win Mag near the barn on the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch on April 13, 2021 in Westcliffe, Colorado. She also carries at all times a Ruger-57 Pistol around her leg. The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch is a haven for transgender people that raises Alpaca, sheep, goats, lambs, ducks, and chickens. Thirteen months ago, rancher Penny Logue found the 40 acres that the ranch is on in the Wet Mountain Valley of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range outside of Westcliffe. For their safety the ranch is fully armed and each person on the ranch has some sort of protection including semi-automatic rifles, pistols and knives. The ranch offers a safe haven for transgender people needing a respite or to get away from bad situations. The ranch has 170 head of Alpaca, 30 sheep, 30 ducks, 40 chickens, 8 dogs and 8 cats. Almost all of the animals at the ranch are rescues. To make ends meet they sell the wool of the Alpaca and sheep and do crowd funding. (Photo by Helen H.
