Spanning approximately 4,000 total acres, Bowman Creek Ranch includes 3,350 deeded acres and a 640-acre BLM lease nestled within the heart of the property. Elevations range from 2,900ft along the Tongue River bottom to 4,200ft in the pine-covered hills, offering dramatic terrain diversity and sweeping views. This variation supports both agricultural productivity and rich wildlife habitat across riparian zones, native grasslands, and timbered ridges.

The riparian area includes two working pivots irrigating alfalfa fields, yielding three cuts annually and producing approximately 700 bales. An additional 13 acres are planted with a custom 10-seed mix cover cropfeaturing millet, peas, sorghum, and moreto enhance soil health and wildlife forage. The ranch currently supports a well-managed 150-head cattle operation, with multiple fenced pastures allowing for strategic rotational grazing. This system preserves key wildlife corridors, especially for elk, which frequently move between the hills and river bottom. A modern corral system, built within the last decade, enhances operational efficiency.
