now they just came out with MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT- see text for filing below.
Thinking this could be the next big thing. Between April and now... it appears as such.

Filing also says this: Prior to Rancher’s entry into the Participation Agreement and AAPL Form 610 operating agreement, Rancher was a shell company. As a result of entry into these agreements, the acquisition of assets as described in Item 2.01 above, and the addition of operations under the agreements (as described above in Items 1.01 and 2.01 above), we believe Rancher is no longer a shell company.

SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
On October 3, 2013 (effective September 30, 2013), Rancher Energy Corp. (“Rancher”) executed a Participation Agreement with PetroShare Corp., a privately-held Colorado corporation not affiliated with Rancher (“PetroShare”), for the purposes of drilling at least one and up to two oil and/or gas wells to test the Niobrara formation to a depth of approximately 7,850 feet total vertical depth (TVD) in Moffatt County, Colorado. The following description of the Participation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Participation Agreement which agreement is included herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
On October 7, 2013, Rancher paid 30% of the costs of drilling the first well (Kowach 3-25) in exchange for a 30% working interest (25.309% net revenue interest), subject to a reduction of the working interest to 25% (and a proportional reduction of the net revenue interest) if Rancher and PetroShare do not complete a business combination. Rancher and PetroShare have entered into a non-binding letter of intent by which the two parties are negotiating and pursuing a business combination. Any business combination will be subject to approval by Rancher’s stockholders and a number of other conditions precedent.
The estimated cost for drilling the first well is $1,824,460 ($547,338 net to Rancher), and if warranted an additional $471,772 for completion ($141,517 net to Rancher). Rancher has an option not to participate in the second well, based on the results obtained from the first well. If Rancher participates in the second well (of which there can be no assurance), the estimated cost for drilling the second well (Voloshin 3-25) is $1,982,998 ($594,899 net to Rancher), and if warranted an additional $474,247 for completion ($142,274 net to Rancher).
It is expected that drilling on the first well will commence within the next several weeks. PetroShare will be the operator of the wells pursuant to a standard AAPL Form 610 operating agreement and exhibits thereto. Two other companies, not affiliated with either Rancher or PetroShare, are also participating in the proposed drilling operation.
SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Pursuant to the Participation Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, upon payment, Rancher acquired a 30% working interest in the oil and gas leases on the property described below in Item 2.01(b). Rancher believes this to be a significant amount of assets acquired otherwise than in the ordinary course of business.
(a) The asset described above was acquired by Rancher upon Rancher’s payment of the costs of drilling the first well under the Participation Agreement on October 7, 2013.
(b) Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement disclosed in Item 1.01 above, Rancher acquired a 30% working interest in the oil and gas leases on the following described property:
Township 6 North, Range 90 West, 6th P.M., Section 25, all of Lot 1 (42.05 acres), Lot 2 (42.05 acres), Lot 3 (42.04 acres), Lot 4 (42.03 acres), Lot 5 (41.98 acres), Lot 6 (41.98 acres), Lot 7 (41.98 acres), Lot 8 (41.98 acres), Lot 9 (41.92 acres), Lot 10 (41.91 acres), Lot 11 (41.91 acres), Lot 12 (41.90 acres), Lot 13 (41.85 acres), Lot 14 (41.85 acres), Lot 15 (41.86 acres), and Lot 16 (41.86 acres), Moffat County, Colorado.
(c) The above-described working interest was acquired from PetroShare Corp., a non-affiliate of Rancher. Rancher and PetroShare Corp. have no material relationship other than as described above in Item 1.01.
(d) Rancher will pay 30% of the costs of drilling and completion in exchange for a 30% working interest (25.309% net revenue interest), subject to a reduction of the working interest to 25% (and a proportional reduction of the net revenue interest) if Rancher and PetroShare do not complete a business combination. Rancher paid $507,748 on October 7, 2013 and an additional $39,590 on October 9, 2013 as its 30% share of the costs under the above-described Participation Agreement, and may pay up to a total of $1,426,029 if both wells are drilled to completion (see Item 1.01 above for more details).
(e) Not applicable.
(f) Prior to the above-described acquisition of the working interest, Rancher was a shell company. As a result of the acquisition of the working interest, and as a result of the beginning of operations (see Item 5.06 below) as a party to the Participation Agreement and AAPL Form 610 operating agreement described above in Item 1.01, we believe Rancher is no longer a shell company. Nevertheless, if the operations under the Participation Agreement and the operating agreement are fruitless, Rancher may become a shell company once again.
FORM 10 INFORMATION
Item 1 Business
Rancher incorporates by reference Form 10 Item 1, which was previously reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, filed on June 25, 2013.

Item 2 Financial Information
Rancher incorporates by reference Form 10 Item 2, which was previously reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, filed on June 25, 2013, and as it was previously reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013, filed on August 14, 2013.
Item 3 Properties
Rancher incorporates by reference Form 10 Item 3, which was previously reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, filed on June 25, 2013. In addition:
(a) The leasehold interests in which Rancher acquired rights on October 7, 2013 as a result of the payment of estimated drilling expenses, are located in Section 25 of Township 6 North, Range 90 West, 6th P.M., Moffatt County, Colorado.
(b) There are no other producing oil and gas wells on said Section 25. PetroShare has advised Rancher that it has commenced building the location for the contemplated wells.
(c) The properties are not held in fee, but are subject to standard oil and gas leases which provide for three to six year terms (expiring in 2014 through 2016) unless oil and gas operations are continuing at the expiration of the term of the lease. Based on preliminary title work, it appears that PetroShare owned a 100% working interest (approximately 78.3% net revenue interest) in the minerals underlying Section 25. Section 25 has had five wells drilled on it between 1956 and 1965. Three of these wells produced from the Niobrara and two produced from the Trout Creek formation. The last well produced until 1998. Oil was produced from the Niobrara formation, while the gas was produced from both the Niobrara and Trout Creek formations. The producing field in this area is known as the Buck Peak field, which is the largest producing Niobrara oil field in the Sand Wash basin. While there has been successful production from this field in the past, there can be no assurance that the planned drilling operations will be successful or result in the commercial production of oil or natural gas.

SECTION 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status
Prior to Rancher’s entry into the Participation Agreement and AAPL Form 610 operating agreement, Rancher was a shell company.

The material terms of these agreements are described in Items 1.01 and 2.01 above, and are further disclosed in full by the attachment of the Participation Agreement hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Rancher is a non-operator under the AAPL Form 610 operating agreement, the terms of which are standard. If the wells contemplated under the Participation Agreement and the operating agreement are dry holes and plugged and abandoned, Rancher may become a shell company once again.

"Through our wholly owned subsidiary, CirTran Beverage Corporation, or CBC, we manufacture, market, and distribute internationally an energy drink under an exclusive manufacturing, marketing, and distribution agreement with Play Beverages, LLC, or PlayBev, our consolidated variable interest entity, which has a license, now in dispute, with Playboy Enterprises, Inc., or Playboy. Our beverage distribution segment accounted for 94% and 97% of total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and 96% and 85% of total revenue during 2011 and 2010, respectively."
MULTI-PENNIES!!!!!! "Playboy Sued by Energy Drink Licensee"
http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/10/29/51777.htm
Linked info below:
CHICAGO (CN) - Playboy wrongfully severed a licensing agreement with the company that makes and sells the Playboy Energy Drink and tried to cut it out of the distribution network, Play Beverages and its distributor claim in court.
Play Beverages and CirTran Beverage Corp. sued Playboy Enterprises International, brokers United Licensing Group and RLC Partners, and distributor Redi FZE in Cook County Court. They also sued individual broker Jimmy Esebag, RLC principal Ron Coopersmith and Redi FZE principal Paul Levin. In 2006, Playboy allegedly granted Play Beverages (referred to as "PlayBev" in the complaint) the right to manufacture and sell the Playboy Energy Drink. A year later, Play Beverages struck a distribution deal with CirTran.
"During the last four years, PlayBev and CirTran have successfully grown the network to a point where they have launched the product into more than 30 countries and have obtained distributors for more than 80 countries," the lawsuit states. "Last year, PlayBev and CirTran sold more than a half million cases of the Playboy Energy Drink worldwide."
The companies say Playboy knew that some of the distribution agreements extended beyond the initial five-year license term, and that Playboy "represented to prospective distributors that PlayBev's license was in good standing."
"Despite its best efforts," Play Beverages acknowledges it failed to meet the minimum net sales required by its licensing agreement. It claims PlayBoy knew this, but chose not to declare it in default "because Playboy appreciated that PlayBev had made significant progress in developing the market for the Playboy Energy Drink."
It claims Playboy's vice president of global licensing represented that minimum net sales "would never be an issue from Playboy's perspective as long as PlayBev continued to develop its territory and expand its distribution network."
But when a new management team took over at Playboy last spring, Playboy almost immediately began searching for a replacement licensee, the beverage companies claim.
"Playboy began working with Mr. Jimmy Esebag and Mr. Ron Coopersmith during the spring of 2011 in order to cut PlayBev out of the energy drink distribution network," according to the lawsuit.
"Playboy did not disclose to PlayBev that it had entered into negotiations with alternative licensees, and did not disclose to PlayBev that its brokers were attempting to secure an alternative licensee. To the contrary, Playboy actually encouraged PlayBev to invest additional funds and resources into its distribution network in order to better position itself for the next license renewal period," the complaint states.
"Playboy was simultaneously asking PlayBev to make an additional royalty payment of approximately $1.8 million, even though Playboy planned to declare PlayBev in default once one of Mr. Esebag's alternative licensee placed its sufficient funds into escrow to demonstrate its commitment to the proposed deal."
Playboy started negotiating with Redi FZE while Play Beverages was still under contract, despite the contract's non-circumvention provisions and against the advice of Redi FZE's counsel, Play Beverages claims.
"Playboy also began working closely with Redi FZE, in order to assist that distributor in breaching its distribution contract," the complaint states.
On July 14, Playboy allegedly notified distributors that it Play Beverages had defaulted on its licensing agreement, and that Playboy was in the process of terminating it.
"Playboy's communication was unsolicited and intended to disrupt the distributor network by creating unnecessary concern and uncertainty among the distributors," Play Beverages claims.
The plaintiffs seek an injunction barring Playboy from terminating the license agreement, and unspecified damages for breach of contract, breach of good faith, tortious interference and promissory estoppel.
They are represented by Michael Conway with Grippo & Elden in Chicago.

After "hearing" completion, CIRC could stand to be very rewarded from Playboy's breach of contract. CIRC was operating within the contract and Playboy decided to use another company which is a huge NO NO!!!!
