Welcome to the 66 Ranch. 

A place where friends and family are always welcome and there is always room for more!

 

We are Bim and Janas Strauser, owners and operators of the 66 Ranch.  We have been raising cattle, horses, and kids since 1979.  Both of our families are 3^rd and 4^th generation Montanans with strong ties to agriculture, raising both cattle and horses, and rodeo. 

In keeping with tradition, our children, Morgan and Rylee Strauser have proven themselves in the arena, from junior rodeo’s and on up through college.  They have qualifications to Junior Northern Rodeo Association Finals, National Finals High School Rodeo, and International High School Rodeo Finals. 

Because of our strong ties with ranching, it is our goal to raise willing, quiet horses, that have the speed and structural soundness to work both on the ranch and in the arena.  We feel that in order to be successful, our horses need to be versatile. 

 To accomplish this goal, we have developed a program that uses an Easy Jet, Jet Deck influence.  We were lucky enough to have had a son of Easy Jet.  We are now crossing our Easy Jet granddaughters back, with our new exciting stallion, Dash in My Glass.  The Dash For Perks, Raise Your Glass cross will add a nice outcross for our Easy Jet bred mares. 

Our cattle operation is what helps make our horse operation work.  We raise hardy Red Angus cattle.  We like our cattle to be able to thrive in the harsh weather conditions Montana can provide.  It is our goal that our calves have lower birth weights for calving ease, and still weigh up in the fall.
