The headquarters are located at the confluence of Long Creek and Otter Creeks near the well maintained county road. These seasonal streams, lined with Box Elder trees, provide winter cover, stock reservoirs, and wildlife habitat. The basic, functional set of working improvements include wooden corrals, a metal equipment building, and a home that serves more like a cow camp. A productive well and overhead electricity serves the improvements and the ranch benefits from reasonably good perimeter fencing.

Hay Fields

Probably the best feature of the ranch is it's dry-land hay meadows that were built in the 1950's using a land plane and spreader dikes. Old timers in the area say that the Long Creek Ranch had the best hay pastures along Otter Creek.

Recreation

Another great feature for those that like to explore public land is that it is only five miles from Custer National Forest and is surrounded by road accessible public lands. The ranch would be easily leased for cattle and be an excellent base camp for the surrounding area that has 400+ inch bull elk, large mule deer, and abundant antelope. Upland birds such as the drumming sharp tail grouse and pheasant, as well as a few song birds, liven up the prairie landscape which is rimmed with Ponderosa Pine.

Access and Location

Excellent access is approximately 45 minutes south of highway 212, just a few miles from the Wyoming State Line. Nearest towns are Ashland or Broadus, Montana and Sheridan or Gillette, Wyoming that are connected by the many county roads that traverse the incredibly scenic landscape. Jet service to Billings, Montana or commuter jet service to Sheridan or Gillette is the most convenient transportation. Interstates 90, 94 and 25 connect to US Highway 212 to provide the fastest connection by road.
