About Ladder Ranch:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ladder Livestock is a real-deal, working, cattle and sheep ranch on the Wyoming and Colorado border. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tucked away in the Little Snake River Valley, about 7,000 feet above sea level in the Rocky Mountains, this family owned ranch has been in operation for over 120-years. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ranch is primarily in the business of raising and marketing sheep and cattle. Some farming is done as well, as a means to supply the livestock winter feed.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994077″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]Ladder Ranch is a horseback outfit. That is to say, the terrain in the Little Snake River Valley is tough. If you\u2019re going to be an effective rancher here you\u2019ll need to do so by horseback. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ladder Ranch\u2019s operation follows the transhumance model, meaning that sheep and cattle participate in one of the longest livestock migrations in the United States. Ladder Ranch sheep move over 150 miles from the Routt and Medicine Bow National Forests<\/a> to Wyoming’s Red Desert<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994080″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]It\u2019s not just where you work, It\u2019s who you\u2019re working for that’s important. At Ladder Ranch you\u2019ll be working and learning under some of the finest in the industry. The O\u2019toole family<\/a> manages the ranch and they know a thing or two about the area, ranching, and conservation.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]Pat O\u2019toole is an active member of community organizations affecting the ranch. He has served in the Wyoming state legislature and was part of the presidentially appointed Western Water Commission. He sits on the advisory board for AGree<\/a>, a think tank that grapples with food and agricultural policy issues. Additionally, he\u2019s on the board of several other important groups in the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a mentor you can really learn from, look no further.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994079″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body”]<\/p>\n
