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. Visit our dude ranch website to get more details about each week and activities available at our Montana working ranch.Guest Capacity | 10 |
