1287 Little Dry Rd
Cohagen, MT 59322

A well-watered, low overhead, Montana grass ranch, these are the first things that come to mind when discussing the 10,557+/- acre Badger Creek Ranch. The owners have operated the ranch as a 300-400 mother cow and calf operation for over 25 years. The amount of head and of course the weather dictates how much winter feed will need to be purchased and brought onto the ranch for the winter months. These folks have done extensive fencing and water projects throughout the ranch. This includes fencing most of the ranch into 2 section pastures with a minimum of two sources of water per pasture. The water sources in each pasture are one reliable spring and one tank on a pipeline from a well. There are 7 wells on the ranch that provide terrific quality and quantity of water for livestock and human consumption. On the East side of the ranch, there are eight 200 acre grazing cells that the owners have used as intensive grazing cells that they cycle livestock through. The water tanks in the different pastures are both thermal sinks that provide the appropriate amount of water for livestock in both summer and winter months combined with traditional plastic tanks protected with drill stem pipe. There are several hundred acres of historical dryland hayfields that are currently being grazed but could be put back into production if desired. The headquarters of the ranch consist of two modular homes that have been fixed up and are very comfortable. There is a hunting camp set between the houses that the owners have leased out over the years. The shop is in great shape with half of the floor being dirt and the other half having concrete. The livestock working facilities are built in a Temple Grandin fashion and have made processing livestock a breeze. This ranch has been ran by a husband and wife for over 25 years. It doesn't get to be much less overhead than that. Some good ranch horses and a side by side will keep the future owners of this great ranch occupied for years to come. The next owners can literally bring there cows and be in business. Functional improvements set in a very private setting ready to go to work. While touring ranch we ran across mule deer, antelope, sharp-tails, and Hungarian partridge. This added wildlife could generate extra income for the ranch or be enjoyed by guests. Come take a look at this great Montana Grass ranch in the “best last Place”.
