Ryan Battersby says he and his wife Kaylin have co-owned and operated Steel Ranch Welding since 2023 “with our 2 dogs and 24 chickens in Coalville.

[Some] of her favorite pieces are the animal themed ones, like the one donated to Nuzzles Ranch.” Steel Ranch specializes in custom metal art, welding, and fabrication projects large and small, and grew out of Battersby’s education in steelwork.
