Like most properties in the valley the ranch was originally cleared for the timber value. Originally homesteaded by the Spooners in the 1940s, the property was then purchased by a Mennonite family in the early 1960s who cleared some of the land and began farming. In 1970 “Abe,” a local logger/outfitter, purchased the property and cleared more land. With a larger amount of arable land Abe ran cattle and horses on the property. The ranch house was built in 1980/81. In later years Abe ran bison on the ranch. The current owners have also run bison on the property and with some extra fencing the property can be converted back to a game farm for bison.
