MJ Ranch
INTRODUCTION The MJ Ranch is nestled in the foothills of the majestic wind river mountain range, boasting excellent hay production, grazing, unlimited recreational features , and jaw dropping mountain views. With Muddy Creek meandering through the entire center section of MJ Ranch before spilling into the East Fork Tributary, this three miles of undisturbed fishery provide excellent water, sub-irrigation, and water fowl habitat, to this working cattle ranch. Operating on over 100,000 acres, of which 2,652 acres are deeded, MJ Ranch offers a beautiful diversity of lush bottom riparian area and large expanses of open space. This operating ranch is a unique find. Not often can a few gates be all that divide the winter from summer range. The MJ Ranch drainage creates a fertile wetland, nearly three miles of winding trout stream, excellent hay meadows and grazing pastures. The MJ Ranch is a very productive working cattle ranch with unparalleled recreational attributes.

“Don't give your son money. As far as you can afford it, give him horses. No one ever came to grief, except honourable grief, through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them; unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.” - Winston Churchill The Works Of Winston Churchill
