This is an authentic working cattle ranch which is run in conjunction with the neighbour's place and together they take care of about 500 pairs (1,000 head) on a total of 40,000 acres. Mid May the cows with their calves are shipped back to the ranch after they wintered on a farm in a milder climate. They brand and vaccinate the animals before they drive them to their spring pasture. The whole season from mid-May to mid-October they rotate the cattle approx. every two weeks to a new pasture as grazing conditions and water dictates. You will see a wide selection of wildlife during your rides and guests enjoy that tremendously.
The atmosphere is relaxed and you will enjoy a sense of freedom from stress. The main ranch house, a beautiful log home, is open to the guests at all times for family style dining, entertaining and relaxation. This ranch offers a unique ranch adventure with personalized attention and the opportunity to step back in time and experience the real West as it has been and can still be today.
The riding programme will invigorate riders of every ability. They have excellent horses for novice as well as experienced riders. Depending on your experience, they walk, trot and canter across tens of thousands of acres - there is no nose to tail riding on the ranch. You will enjoy the companionship of a good horse, the variety of terrain, beautiful vistas, interesting geologic formations and abundant wildlife. In the evenings they often have cook-outs or gather around the camp fire swapping cowboy stories.
During the summer they offer two day rides with an overnight camp out. There is an extra charge of $60 per person for this paid locally. All prices are per person unless otherwise specified.
