Ow Ranch

Ow Ranch Simmental cattle in Lance Creek, WY, in Niobrara County and the Powder River Basin near Gillette, is a ranching family operation with three generations of breeding experience and a commitment to registered herds. They maintain numbered herd books under the American Simmental Association and conduct genetic screenings for performance traits and maternal health.

Pasture rotation, access to natural springs, and regular handling ensure calves adapt to farm life smoothly and develop gentle temperaments. Several ranch champions in performance and carcass evaluations reflect a balanced focus on growth, fertility and maternal qualities. Visitors often remark on the friendly herd disposition and the ranch’s long history of community involvement around central Wyoming. Calves are raised alongside older cows in open pastures, which supports natural weaning and helps maintain herd structure. The ranch operates on sustainable grazing principles to preserve native grasslands and local water quality.
