Flying W Ranch

Flying W Ranch raises Hereford cattle at its family homestead in White Bird, ID, in Idaho County and the Salmon River region near Lewiston. The ranch participates in national Hereford registries and follows recommended health screenings, and works closely with local veterinarians for growth monitoring and disease prevention.

Their cattle enjoy open, sunlit pastures and early, hands-on handling to develop a calm temperament and robust constitution. This family-run operation blends modern livestock methods with ranching traditions passed down through generations on high-elevation meadows. Local customers appreciate the ranch’s thoughtful balance of animal welfare and land stewardship.

Cattle graze a mix of native grasses and supplemental feeds sourced from nearby farms, ensuring balanced nutrition year-round. Winter housing includes well-ventilated barns stocked with fresh bedding and continuous access to clean water. The ranch’s location at around 3,500 feet elevation contributes to strong, resilient animals adapted to seasonal temperature shifts.
