Four Generations of Wyoming Heritage
Since 1912, the Mitchell family has worked this land with respect for the animals, soil, and community.
Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow
Riverbend Ranch began in 1912 when William Mitchell homesteaded 640 acres at the confluence of creek and river. With nothing but determination and a small herd of cattle, he built the foundation of what would become a four-generation legacy.
Today, we manage 4,500 acres of pristine Wyoming rangeland, raising grass-fed cattle using sustainable practices that honor both tradition and innovation. Our commitment to ethical stewardship means every product we offer reflects our values of quality, sustainability, and genuine Western hospitality.
We are proud to welcome visitors to experience ranch life firsthand, from sunrise cattle drives to starlit campfire evenings. Whether you are here for a day or staying in one of our heritage cabins, you become part of our extended ranch family.
