At McGinnis Meadows, not only do you learn horsemanship, but you also put everything you've learned to use working cattle. All season we have steers that you and your horse can track, learn to cut, and ultimately ranch pen. You can also prepare for our cattle drives learning to move our small herd of mother cows in our meadows. See a new calf born starting June through September.



Cattle drives start when we turn our main herd of cattle out during the third week of May. Drive cattle all summer long on 75,000 acres of spectacular country surrounding Lost Trail Wildlife Refuge in Northwest Montana. Moving cattle to new pastures, reriding for strays, and pushing cattle up to the high country is a real hoot! We'll teach you about the ways of cattle, and about proper land management.

Our Fall Gather runs through all of October. In the brilliance of the Fall colors, we'll cover allot of country. You'll learn about tracking cattle, and there will be some waspy ones that don't want to come in too badly!

You are welcome to ride and participate as much as you wish. Each evening we come home to the heartiest of meals, and 1st class lodging so you'll experience the best of both worlds!
