Lewistown, MT 59457(Fergus County)

The Horse Ranch supplied remount horses for the U.S. Cavalry in forts throughout the vast Montana Territory in the 1860s and on into the 1890s.

The Ranch was purchased by Vernon F. Taylor in 1947 and held in the Taylor Family until 1963 when it was passed on to his son, James C. Taylor. These visionary men have spent the last 64 years creatively shaping and improving this significant holding. The expansive operation contains sufficient hay meadows and summer pasture to comfortably run 700 to 750 head of brood cows on a year round basis plus a full complement of replacement heifers and bulls. Even to the untrained eye, it is apparent that the grazing resource has been managed conservatively. The remarkable condition of this historic ranch is the result of over six decades of masterful stewardship. The deep timbered draws and grassy plateaus also provide prime habitat for the resident elk herd, trophy mule deer, antelope, wild turkey and upland game birds including sharp-tailed grouse, pheasant and sage grouse.

The Horse Ranch symbolizes a quality opportunity to acquire a true operating ranch with enough size, scale and carrying capacity to make some business sense even in todays tumultuous economic climate. Prospective Buyers in solid financial condition with an interest in portfolio diversification and a desire to own one of Montanas true working outfits should seriously consider The Horse Ranch. It is rare to find a large contiguous land holding with such strong operating resources and sense of history. The Ranch is offered at $15,000,000 by one of Montanas most respected ranching families.
