As we drove into the parking area, we looked out upon 600 elk munching on hay, spread out for their consumption. It was a beautiful and peaceful scene, and one we wont forget. Elk from a 50 mile radious converge on the ranch each winter for a handout of hay grown and stored in the 19,000 4 world-famou- acre ranch. Only 130 acres are cultivated, but it is enough to supply between 10,000 and 20,000 bales of hay each year for the elk.
