This year Cheyenne River Ranch offers several different cattle drives and trail rides. In May there is a round-up and branding and trail ride for two days. August brings a 5-day cattle drive. A typical day on the trail begins with a hearty breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs and juice. Then saddle up your horse and begin bunchin' the cattle and movin' them out.
Lunch is sandwiches, cookies, candy bars, apple and lemonade.
You ride about five to six hours a day, covering a distance of 10 to 12 miles. There you'll be, sitting tall in the saddle behind a slow moving herd. At night when we make camp, you'll gather around the campfire for a feed of steaks, pork chops, or barbecued ribs, spuds, a vegetable, salad, dessert and wash it all down with good cowboy coffee. On a Cheyenne River Ranch cattle drive, you'll be able to sleep under the stars or in a tent, whichever suits your fancy. We furnish tents for the gals and guys and smaller tents for married couples.
