| Introduction |
|
You'll find Grandads Homestead just over the hill from the famous Pawnee Buttes. We are a four generation, family owned, ranch and farm and want to invite you to come do whatever we are doing or just relax and do your own thing. Our staff is sure to make your stay with us both fun and educational. We are a new guest ranch, but certainly not new at having a large number of guests. Our families have welcomed many guests from all over the United States, Sweden, Germany, and France to come and enjoy ranch and farm life while experiencing the great outdoors. At the ranch we raise 1200 head of Angus/Hereford/Charolais cross cows. Our farming operation consists mainly of the production of winter wheat, corn and millet. |

Whether you are looking for a working cattle ranch experience, birding, bicycling, arrowhead hunting, hiking, a great photo shooting experience, or a peaceful bed and breakfast retreat, Grandads Homestead Ranch is sure to offer something to uniquely meet your needs. Our guest can choose to stay in one of two newly remodeled bunk houses, located directly east of the original homestead house.

Because Grandads is a real working cattle ranch and farm, activities vary depending upon the time of season. While you're at Grandads you may be able to participate in activities including harvesting, calving, or branding. Each day can be different and there is always work to do. If you choose, you could join the cowboys and cowgirls while they check cattle, water tanks, salt and fences. There are activities including sorting, moving cattle to rotate pastures, and branding. After supper, join in around the campfire, telling stories about the days events. If you are not in for riding, you may want to take advantage of hiking, biking or birding. We are only 4 miles from the Pawnee Buttes, also known as "Rattlesnake Buttes" in James Michner's book "Centennial." |

| There are great places to explore and hike. Spring-time is a time for all the beautiful wild flowers to bloom and cover the prairies. The pastures are a great place for bird watching. Some of the species observed on our property, in a study done by Colorado State University were: Horned Larks, Lark Buntings, Mc Cown's Longspurs, Western Meadowlarks, Mountain Plovers, Chestnut-Collared Longspures, Vesper Sparrows, Killdeer, Mourning Doves, Swainson's Hawks, Chipping Sparrows, Tree Swallows and Burrowing Owls. We border the Pawnee National Grasslands where over 250 different species of birds can be found. |

Here, where the original Homesteaders set out to make a new life with their families, you can enjoy the smells of fresh country air, and see for what seems to be hundreds of miles of open blue sky. |
