Ranch Overview
The Bassett family has been sharing this working guest ranch experience for 35 years. Our amazing horses are trained for a dual purpose of working cattle as well as taking care of our guests in the wonderful wide open spaces of Montana. Working together and sharing a ranch experience is thrilling and contagious. If you want to experience a real working ranch, come visit us at Dryhead Ranch. We have cattle drives, horse drives, weaning of calves, branding weeks, pregnancy testing of cows. We have a week where we gather our mares and colts to put them into mare bands.
