new areas. The cattle are often rotated from area to area within the ranch to graze the grasses to the appropriate amount.
Tippet Rise also leases portion of its land to John Carrol and family, a local ranch family with a prov-
en record of land stewardship and quality ranching integrity. In spring their cattle are brought to Tippet Rise and combined with Tippet’s own cattle and are run on the south side of Tippet Rise. In the fall Tippet’s cow herd and John’s return to John’s ranch north of Columbus, Montana, for the winter. Tippet’s calves, however, stay right here at that time and are raised
to weight right on the ranch. In the following summer
some of those calves become beef for our guests to enjoy while they are here. The best of the heifers are saved to become permanent members of the herd: a true ranchland-to-plate experience for our guests to enjoy. Tippet Rise’s cattle wear the state-registered quarter circle T lazy R brand on the their left hip. Perhaps it stands for “Tippet Rise under Domo.” The Domo, which is a slightly curved dolmen in the shape of that quarter circle, is our highest sculpture
in elevation.
In the winter much of the ranch goes into total dormancy and quietness. We leave plenty of grass and natural feed on the ridges and meadows, where the chinook winds through the winter keep the ridges free from heavy snow.
