Situated twelve miles from Cheyenne, the Wyoming Hereford Ranch is the oldest continuously-operated livestock operation in the United States. Its 60,000 acres are home to superior registered beef cattle, and is a lovely destination for a country drive.

The ranch headquarters has an extensive library of books about farming and Hereford breeding, which visitors are welcome to peruse.

The ranch is home to kestrels, wigeons, kingfishers, buffleheads, cormorants, herons, teals, and many other species of common and western birds.
