Looking for the real cowboy and cowgirl experience? Whether you want an introductory taste to handling cattle from horseback or an all day cattle drive adventure, we've got the excursion for you.

We keep a herd of 5-15 yearlings on the ranch to teach basic skills such as blocking, driving, cutting, and herdwork during half-days of Cattle 101. Learn to effectively move a herd through mountain terrain, or join a partner or team for the challenge of modified team penning and other games in the arena.

Or, head out for a full day of packing salt, changing pastures, doctoring, or gathering the herd on the several hundred thousand acre grazing permit adjoining the ranch. Monitoring and caring for the 150 pairs of cows on permit is a challenging and fun-filled affair.

Sample a taste of modern day cowboying, and then return to the ranch for a fabulous meal and comfortable bed. You can enjoy the star-filled sky from the comfort of your cabin's deck and reminisce about "the one that got away."

So, ask about cattle 101!  You too can be a "real cowboy" or "cowgirl"!
