IX Ranch – Cattle Herd Genetics

The IX Ranch is a legacy ranch – it is huge, has a long history of stable ownership and a highly respected reputation in reputation ranch country. Its central Montana location is 87 miles northeast of Great Falls and adjacent to the town of Big Sandy. The current owners are the second owners in the ranch’s 126 year history. This professionally managed operation runs a cattle herd of 4,300. They traditionally go into the winter with around 3,500 bred cows and 600 heifer calves – plus an appropriate number of bulls and ranch horses together with 5,000 tons of winter feed. The operation covers over 126,000 acres, of which 59,809 is deeded and the majority of the balance being State grazing leases. It is well and appropriately improved, with accommodations for a full crew including a manager as well as comfortable quarters for guests. Besides its position as one of Montana’s great cattle ranches, the IX boasts huntable populations of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, mountain lion and five species of upland birds. It is also an extremely scenic ranch boasting a broad diversity of habitat types from productive meadows to rolling hills which give way to steeper mountain country with scatterings of aspens and evergreens.
