2009 Cattle Drive :  Their season starts in May with cattle drives from Wyoming to Montana.  The ranch trail cows over the Old Sioux Trail stretching 50 miles through the wild horse range and into Montana’s beautiful “Big Sky Country”.  In the spring they trail 100-150 cows, each with their calf, each week.  During their spring drives you will stay in an authentic cow camp, if the weather permits. 

2009 Horse Drive :  Early in the spring during April , they trail their mare band into the ranch for the summer.  Their colts are born at the ranch and in May and make mare bands and turn in the studs for the season.  Late in the fall they trail these same mares back to Wyoming with their colts, November 2009 (cold weather).
