Welcome!
Sweet Grass is a working cattle
ranch secluded in the Crazy Mountains of south central Montana,
40 miles from Big Timber. The ranch sits at 6100 feet on the
Sweet Grass Creek. We are a family ranching tradition since 1880
when great-granddad settled under Porcupine Butte, around the
corner from Pleny Coups' camp. We are listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Bill and Shelly are at the ranch
full time. Page and Pat (with Erin and Connor) handle the rides
and the corrals and commute to their law practice in Big Timber.
Rocco and Annie with Rainy and Liliana are at Otter Creek, the
winter ranch, but come to Sweet Grass several times a week to
work with horses and guests. Tony, with twins Zandy and Orrie,
have a furniture business in Bozeman, but they do join us once
a week or so for dinner. J., our oldest, with Annette, Kris,
Josh, Rouaine and Gio, is a career Marine stationed in California.
The
ranch encompasses both mountain and rolling foothill country where
we raise Angus cattle and horses. Timothy meadows and clear,
sparkling creeks enable deer, antelope, elk, bear, mountain lions,
coyotes, mountain goats and an occasional wolf to call this country
home, as well as many smaller mammals, eagles, hawks and lots of
songbirds. We are privileged to ride across several good neighbors;
coupled with our own land, there are countless miles of riding available.
Our guests are welcome to take an active a part as they like in
all phases of ranch life from feeding pigs to moving cows and wrangling
horses. To insure everyone an opportunity to really enjoy the
ranch, we take a limited number of guests. Come enjoy our special
life and experience the friendly charm of the Sweet Grass Ranch.
