| We are a working cattle ranch. We do our work with the cattle as the need arises, not a specific activity at a specific time. Most of the week is spent scattering cattle on the range, doctoring cattle, packing in salt to pastures in the Rocky Mountains, trailing cattle to new pastures and gathering strays, in some of the most scenic mountain country in Idaho. Upon your arrival, you will be matched up with one or two horses to be ridden by you for the duration of your stay at the ranch. We maintain approximately forty horses for use in cattle operations. Use our saddle or feel free to bring your own. If you want to rope or learn how, just let us know. |

| HISTORY/HOSTS |
|---|
|
| The McGarry Ranches LLC is a seven (7) generation ranch that has been in this area since the early 1900's. The ranch started with 640 acres and grew to over 55,000 acres. This has always been and is currently a Working Cattle Operation. Theron R. McGarry owns and runs, depending on the time of year, 2,000 head of cattle. The main ranch is located on approximately 250 acres with large shade trees, gardens, and various types of flowers. With the exception on branding and tagging, the ranch work is done from Quarter Horses. The tack is checked daily and most of the saddle are custom/handmade. |
|
| ITINERARY |
|---|
|
| The day begins with breakfast at the ranch house. About 8:30 AM, we saddle up and head to the mountains to begin the days work. Lunch will usually be eaten around noon, however we make no promises. The days end, around 6:00 PM, should find you tired and ready to enjoy a table full of hearty food and drink. After an evening of reliving the days adventures around the table or campfire, comfortable cabins will provide you a good nights sleep. Good talk, good friends make you a stranger no longer. We do our work with the cattle as the need arises, not a specific activity at a specific date. Most of the week is spent scattering cattle on the range, doctoring cattle, packing salt for cattle, trailing (driving) cattle to a new pasture on the mountains, and gathering up stray cattle in some of the most scenic mountain country to be found. Almost all of the work is performed from the backs of ranch broke Quarter Horses. You will be matched with one or two horses to be used by you for the duration of your stay at the ranches. A saddle will be provided for your usage or feel free to bring your own. Your safety and enjoyment are uppermost in our minds. Our goal is to ensure your vacation is one that you will always treasure in your memories. Our cowboys will help you learn to rope, work cattle and ride safely. Feel free to join in the work or just go along for the ride, which is by no means a nose to tail affair. Want to experience the real working cowboy lifestyle? Come join the McGarry Ranches Family of Wranglers. Work the herd on approx. fifty five thousand acres in the Big Hole Range of the Rocky Mountains. |
