24,000 Acres
The Red Canyon Ranch is located in Shell Wyoming, in the shadow of the Big Horn Mountains. Comprised of 2079 deeded acres, this is one of the finest cattle ranch operations in Northern Wyoming. The scenery, wildlife and awe-inspiring beauty of the ranch and surrounding mountains is hard to beat, anywhere in the Rocky Mountains. The operation is divided into three parcels, each of which compliment the others. The ranch is set up to easily run 300 cows year-round. The ranch combines quality rangeland pastures, with State, BLM and highly coveted National Forest grazing leases, which allows for an exceptional grazing program. Unlike most ranch properties, the Red Canyon Ranch’s exceptional year-round grazing, nearly eliminates the need for feed hay through the winter months. As a result, the current owners sell most of the 1000 tons of high-quality alfalfa hay produced on the ranch each year. With senior water rights, all irrigation is gravity fed including two pivot irrigated fields. Originating high in the Big Horn Mountains, Beaver Creek bisects the length of the ranch for about four and half miles. The cottonwood tree lined riparian corridor provides irrigation water, stock water for cattle and habitat for the abundant wildlife.
