The Overland Trail Cattle Company LLC

Since the mid-1990s, The Overland Trail Cattle Company LLC has owned and operated one of the largest cattle ranching and agricultural operations in the West.

The Overland Trail Ranch encompasses about 500 square miles of rugged and diverse terrain roughly between Rawlins and Saratoga in Carbon County, Wyoming. While the ranch consists of a mix of land ownerships, cooperative agreements, grazing leases and an allotment management plan assure that the property is wisely managed as one integrated, year-round operation.

In addition to ranching and agriculture, scientific data shows the ranch has some of the best wind resources in the nation. TOTCO is supporting Power Company of Wyoming LLC in its efforts to develop a major wind power project on a portion of the ranch. As demonstrated by its responsible stewardship of land, water and wildlife resources in the past, TOTCO is committed to ongoing environmental conservation for the future.
