Guest Activities

During select times guests are invited to experience life on the V6 Ranch, learn ranch skills, and soak up the beauty of this spectacular ranch.

Cattle operation

Each year on the V6 Ranch we raise 800-1000 stocker cattle. This means we buy cattle after they’ve been weaned and raise them until they’re ready to be finished at a feed lot.

Stockers give us flexibility with our herd size, allowing us to rest the ranch when needed.
