Roundup Time! Growing up on the B&N Ranch

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Roundup Day!

For 75 years we've been doing it the same way at the The Historic B&N Ranch. The working pens are overbuilt, extremely robust and high capacity. Cattle auctions were regularly held here and the six foot heavy pipe pens and fencing is unique and the highest strength and commercial capacity.

Plum Creek on The B&N Ranch

The B&N sits in the Plum Creek Valley. Plum Creek feeds into Lightining Creek which itself feeds into the Neosho River. The water eventually ends up at Grand Lake of the Cherokees in Oklahoma. The cattle prefer to cool off in Plum Creek because it has a flat, rock bottom.

Morning Roundup

Cattle from The B&N Ranch and surrounding ranches are driven down the empty roads to the big working pens of the Ranch.

The B&N Ranch: Miles and Miles of Water

The B&N ranch has miles of creeks, running streams, lakes/pits ponds and active wells distributed in every corner of the ranch. Cattle never have to travel to central watering holes or tanks - water is always just feet away. This allows for less stress, better pasture management and a higher head count per acre. There is never any need to haul or pump water at the B&N.

Frank, a new ranch horse is introduced to the horse herd for the first time at The B&N Ranch. The herd chases and copies everything Frank does.

The B&N Ranch Herd

The B&N Herd cools off in the ponds and Plum Creek. Abundant water in every corner of the Ranch provides for cattle to be well distributed and not have to come to a central watering point. Pastures are managed more efficiently for a higher head count.
