The Ranch

Dadanawa Ranch is a working ranch — not a resort!  The cattle business is our mainstay. Planned activities can change in a moment if a fence breaks or a cow gets in trouble.  We welcome people interested in a real Western experience to join our daily tasks, which might include:

  • Riding, feeding, and shoeing horses
  • Gathering, branding, tattooing  and moving cattle
  • Packing mineral blocks and checking water
  • Roping and branding (in season)
  • Clearing brush and checking fences
  • Making tasso (jerky)

You can also hike and birdwatch or just sit on the verandah and enjoy the weather. Check our Guest Ranch section for more info.
