TA Ranch

The TA Ranch is a working cattle ranch practicing sustainable agriculture on Wyoming’s most historic and beautifully preserved 1880s homestead. Showcasing our agricultural heritage, ranch activities center around some of our agricultural functions including tending to the farm. Guests learn about bee pollination and honey refinement as well as assist with herb gardens, chickens, ducks and goats to understand how anyone can be a food rebel and live like a modern homesteader.
The ranch offers many types of trail riding across 8,000 acres of untamed badlands. Trails follow in the footsteps of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as well as Crows Indians that stalked the Bozeman trail. The ranch also has specialty weeks for cattle drives but offers cattle work and horsemanship clinics regularly. Horse training demonstrations are a primary feature with expert trainers showcasing how the modern cowboy trains colts to finished products from ranch work to the show ring.
As a living history museum, the ranch provides Johnson County War history tours tell the amazing stories of the people who made the American West as well as touch on the problems within cattle ranching between the struggle of big business versus niche ranchers. Private and guided fishing are main staples as well on the ranch. Guests can fish in Crazy Woman creek as well as the privately stocked reservoir.

As a 140-year-old scratch kitchen, the Cookhouse has fed Cattle Barons and Cowboys alike. The ranch is a true farm-to-table restaurant showcasing TA Ranch grass-fed beef and TA Ranch honey. All other products and ingredients are sourced within 100 miles of the ranch including fresh produce from local hydroponic facilities. Ranch menus focus on proteins based on Wyoming agriculture and wildlife. This includes Duck, Rabbit, Chicken, Pork, Bison, Yak, Lamb, and most importantly beef. Guests are invited to learn about our producers and their stories, understanding the impact of sourcing local within the community.

The TA Ranch is a perfectly restored and preserved original Wyoming Territorial Homestead. Each building served a function on the ranch from the Ranch house, Bunkhouse, Cookhouse, Milk barn and Granary. With bullet holes in the buildings from the Johnson County War, guests can see the remaining vestiges of Cattle Range War. Each room contains a private bathroom with casual western luxury and modern amenities. With stunning views of the Bighorn Mountains to gorgeous open vistas of hay fields and range land, TA Ranch accommodations offer guests the ability to get away and relax while choosing when to participate in the excitement of daily ranch activities.
