Stay On A Working Cattle And Bison Ranch In Montana
Whether you’re a city slicker or a seasoned horseback rider and wild west aficionado, a Montana ranch vacation is always a good idea.

A chocolate-brown bison trots down the gravel road, headed in the direction of a few folks on bicycles at Paws Up Montana. Bulls can weigh over 2,000 pounds and stand at around six feet tall, as measured by the characteristic hump over their front shoulders. This big guy’s coat is flouncing as he moves, especially as the sunlight catches the fur on his great bushy head, adapted to endure a Montana blizzard and insulated so he can swoop his face from side to side to move the heavy snow in search of food. The problem is that this bison shouldn’t be outside of his grazing grounds.
