Round up the cattle in the Bighorn Mountains and trail to their next allotment.

On the Open Range Cattle Drives, we gather the cattle and move them to the next pasture in our rotation. Sounds pretty simple, but it is anything but that. With over 60,000 acres inside the boundary of our mountain allotment and only 7 pastures, it should tell you immediately that getting the cattle found in any one pasture is a major undertaking by itself. These trips take place entirely on the mountain in some of the most beautiful remote country you've ever seen. The advantage to these trips is that the weather is generally the most stable, and since we have no humidity, the temperatures, in all likelihood, will be in the 70s or 80s. Since we have the cooler temperatures, we don’t have to have breakfast at 3:00 am like we do on our July Cattle Drive. This actually makes for a more restful trip. We can have breakfast in the neighborhood at 6:30 am and plan on being out of camp around 8:00 am. Like all of our trips, the day ends when we get the cattle to where we need to get them for the day. The riding on the Open Range trips is as challenging as any trip we do, and the hours in the saddle will equal any trips we do. I promise when you ride “Screamer Hill” or the “Oh sh*t Trail”, you will not feel unchallenged!  It may only be 4 miles as the crow flies to the next pasture, but 25 miles to trail the herd through rough country. You’ll trail through all kinds of terrain, from heavy pine timber stands to high alpine meadows and swampy areas that could bog your horse down. And like all of our trips, it is a go each day unless we were to have white-out blizzard conditions! That has only happened twice in 25 years, and both times, it was in the fall.
