We keep a commercial herd of about 300 mother cows, replacement heifers, bulls and yearling bulls. Our guests join us year around, combining cowboy work and simple rest. During the winter the herd is kept right in the valley meadows. They are fed each day, rain, snow or shine. It's a time of snow covered mountains, serenity and the ways of cows.
People choose to help hand feed the yearling calves one day and cross country ski the next.
Spring is calving time. New baby calves born around the clock. Every 2 hours the herd is checked by a stockman. Each day the new pairs are moved by horseback to new pasture. May. Around the first of June we roundup the herd and drive them out onto the summer range, which is 87,000 acres of timbered mountains and wide open river valleys.
