Big Blue Ranch offers more than 2,000 acres of nature and fresh air in the beautiful tall grass prairie hills and woodlands of this western cattle ranch. Our guest ranch adventures include real cattle drives. From the back of a good saddle horse, move 800 head of cattle to greener pastures the way cowboys rode the range.

Or maybe you'd prefer to ride in a pickup leading the cattle through the next gate, then watching the herd of cows, calves and bulls as they hurry to fresh grassland. It's an amazing sight to see and hear! Help us with penning, sorting and treating livestock. Check barbed wire fences and flood gates. Learn how to use a cattle chute and corrals.

Enjoy guided trail rides across the prairies, over rolling hills, down the draws, through the woods and past the ponds of the Big Blue Ranch. Learn roping and horsemanship from friendly wranglers on this family run working cattle ranch. Have fun on a hayrack ride or a covered wagon ranch excursion. Learn about our ranch history!

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced horseman, we will help you advance to the next level of learning the various riding gaits such as walk, trot, lope, sidepass and backing. Enjoy a real adventure with flexible schedules designed for small groups.

View a diverse selection of wildlife, wildflowers and the milky way from the comfort of our beautiful log lodge overlooking a twenty-acre lake. Enjoy spectacular Nebraska sunset views. Kick back in a relaxing atmosphere of stone fireplaces and spacious covered porches as you stay in our comfortable cedar log lodge.

Experience cowboy cookouts, canoeing and fishing. This is a photographer's dream, the real thing!
