is when we our cows calve. We will ride through the herd to
check cow/calf health and move to pastures as needed.

Guest Ranch branding.This is the real thing. Ride each day
to gather and sort cow-calf pairs and move them to the holding
corrals where we'll work and brand calves. Then we'll drive
cattle to their summer pasture. Lots of riding. This is a
popular event with limited spots available. This
is for those serious about riding.
June27-28: Overlap your ranch experience
with our Runamuk Benefit Trail Ride (visit our website,
www.runamukguestranch.com to enjoy video footage of this
annual ride. On Saturday, you can enjoy yourself in a myriad
of ways. Ride a horse or in a horse-drawn wagon through timbered
trails, across sandstone rimrock, and through open meadows
to a barbecue lunch of ranch raised beef with all the fixin's.
Once your belly has settled, head back to the ranch covering
a different path. Back at the ranch enjoy live music, a wine
social, pig roast, auction. Top off your night with a good
old fashioned barn dance. The next morning, wake to homemade
donuts, coffee and juice and head out on the trail again for
a half day ride.
