The Coat Hanger Ranch - This historic operating cattle ranch, located adjacent to the Shell Valley near
the foot of the Big Horn Mountain Range is a formidable spring, fall and winter ranch for a sizable cattle
herd, or may be operated as a year around cattle ranch utilizing part of the irrigated lands for pasture and
the remainder as hay base, at the owner's discretion.
This area has long been known for its beautiful mountain streams and valleys situated under the
backdrop of the Big Horn Mountain Range. This area is alive with early western history
including the outlaws, cowboys, Indians, range wars and the whole bit. Water rights in the area
date the arrival of early day settlers where first filed in the days of the Wyoming Territory, well
ahead of Statehood. The deeded lands are all adjacent to thousands of acres of State and Federal
lands including those administered by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
These lands area a minefield of artifacts dating from the prehistoric periods, through the Ice Age,
the period of the American Indian and white settlers.
This ranch is close in, accessible, yet isolated from other ranches, being nearly surrounded on
two sides by public lands. Seldom do we find property located in a secluded, yet accessible location
with production capability, recreational opportunity, unique, outstanding views and open access
to the "world" of public lands. Off Market.
