OW Ranch
The OW Ranch headquarters, considered one of the most significant ranch headquarters in the entire country, was restored back to its original glory and preserved as a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The OW Ranch was founded by John B. Kendrick, the first territorial Governor and Wyoming's first Senator. Kendrick was considered one of the most influential men in the development of the range cattle industry in Wyoming and Montana. The ranch consists of 48,904 total acres and includes Hanging Woman Creek, Trail Creek, Horse Creek, East Trail Creek and PK Creek. Currently running 1,500 pair, the ranch is well watered by creeks, springs and wells. The ranch puts up 500 to 1,000 tons of native grass hay on its dry land meadows. The ranch is located near the Tongue River and Tongue River Reservoir, a popular destination for rainbow trout fishing.
The historical research and certification of the OW Ranch headquarters was completed by architect John Foote. There are complete architectural renderings and plans available for the entire compound. The Senator's house, ice house, bath house and spring house took numerous years to restore and were completed in 1998.
The headquarters is served by the original historic spring that determined its location over 100 years ago and was completely restored in 1991. In 2006, the construction of the water storage vault, new well, new sewer and septic systems, fire system and water treatment building were completed. During this time, all utilities were buried to ensure the historic view shed around the headquarters.
Pitchfork Ranch
The Pitchfork Ranch is just west of Fort Smith, Montana on the north side of the Bighorn Canyon at the foot of the Pryor Mountains. The Pitchfork consists of 15,254 total acres of rolling grass meadow with several canyons and big sky mountain views in every direction. For the last several years the ranch has been leased providing summer pasture for 2,000 yearling cattle and has seen substantial spring development over the last four years. Combined the OW and Pitchfork Ranches could carry 2,200 animal units. The Pitchfork Ranch embodies all that is special about Montana as one of the most scenic ranches in existence, including several caves in its canyons, some with ancient petroglyphics. The canyon and Big Horn River have remained a big draw for fly fishing enthusiasts and for those who marvel at the incredible beauty of the canyon.
