ENVIRONMENT

Our cattle are fortunate enough to graze over 16 square miles of the Red Desert from April until December.

They are pastured locally in Farson, WY from December to January until we begin feeding for the winter.  

Our herd runs at elevations between 6,500 to 8,900 elevation in a hot desert in the summer months and treck through inches of snow during harsh winter climates. We raise and breed hearty and healthy cattle who would not survive if they were not fit for our area.  

 Water development is a critical part of our rangeland management, especially in the arid conditions of the Red Desert where natural springs and reservoirs are few and far between—and often unreliable. Many natural sources dry up under pressure from wildlife or prolonged drought. To protect these fragile riparian areas and ensure consistent access to clean water, we’ve installed over ten solar-powered well systems across our grazing lands. These systems include tanks, solar panels, and pumps strategically placed so that cattle never have to travel more than four miles to find water and fresh forage. This not only improves livestock health and grazing efficiency but also helps us rotate pastures more effectively.

By developing reliable water sources away from vulnerable natural springs, we reduce the impact on riparian zones and help preserve them for future generations. These improvements don’t just benefit our cattle—they also provide critical hydration points for native wildlife such as sage grouse, wild horses, elk, deer, and antelope. Our water infrastructure is part of a long-term commitment to stewardship of both the land and the ecosystems that depend on it.
