At Ishawooa Mesa Ranch, raising cattle goes hand-in-hand with caring for the land. Forest Service grazing allotments allow Greg and his daughter, Morgan, to responsibly graze their herd on Wyoming’s public rangelands—where cattle thrive entirely on native grasses. Ranching this way also means they're focused on farming the land to regenerate pastures, protect clean water, and support wildlife habitat. These permits aren’t just about access—they’re about accountability, and Morgan and Greg embrace their role as stewards of the land, ensuring their ranching practices sustain both the herd and these natural landscapes for generations to come.
