Welcome! 
Sweet Grass is a great working cattle ranch and guest 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 Chief Plenty Coups' camp. Sweet Grass is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bill and Shelly are at the guest ranch in the summer and cattle ranch in the winter. Page and Pat (with Erin and Connor) are at the guest ranch in the summer and help with the day-to-day ranch operations. Rocco and Annie (with Rainy, Liliana and Ryal) 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, lives in Melville but join us frequently for dinner and musical entertainment. J. and Annette (with Kris, Josh, Rouaine and Gio) has just retired from 23 years in the Marine Corps and is now working on tank maintenance.
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. |
