0 Buffalo Coulee Unit The Buffalo Coulee Ranch encapsulates 1, 947 contiguous acres of nutrient-rich grazing land that satisfies livestock and wildlife alike. In addition, 320 acres are leased from the Bureau of Land Management Acres. The coulees and diverse terrain give the ultimate cover for wildlife ensuring a successful hunting season. The ranch consists of 3 separate pastures sustaining a grazing system that allows for the native grasses to flourish. A well-designed water system provides water to eight stock tanks located strategically within the three grazing pastures. There are an additional two wells with stock tanks for backup if ever needed. Structures on the property consist of working corrals and a round tub that makes sorting and shipping easy and efficient. The natural landscape of Buffalo Coulee Ranch is well-preserved and respected. The present wildlife offers opportunities to hunt and fill your freezer with grass-fed white-tailed and mule deer, antelope, pheasant, sharp-tailed grouse, and Hungarian partridge. The tranquility surrounds the seasonal Buffalo Coulee Creek. Historically, dry land wheat was seeded and harvested whereas the 80 acres of hay ground currently produce up to 300 bales. The area sees about 12 inches of rain annually and 32" of snow with only 1 inch of average depth. The high temperatures rise in July to about 87 degrees and the low drops in January to 4 degrees. In a year, the Glasgow area typically sees 196 days of sunshine. Opportunities abound with such a diverse property. The Fish, Wildlife, and Parks provide income in return for participation in the Block Management program. Buffalo Coulee Ranch has been enrolled since 2012 offering hunters a chance to fill their freezers as well. The property is situated approximately 19 miles west of Glasgow, Montana, and 23 miles east of Saco. A country gravel road leads to this rangeland ranch. Local Area Glasgow, Montana is the county seat of Valley County. It was established in the late 1800s as a railroad town. The rolling plains and open farmland characterize the scenery of this rural town. Visit the Valley County Pioneer Museum for a glimpse of fossils, artifacts, railroad, aviation, and wildlife collections. The Milk River meanders through the area for a few more miles until it empties into the Missouri River near Fort Peck Dam. Fort Peck Lake offers recreational opportunities such as boating, floating, fishing, hunting, and more. Visit the Fort Peck Interpretive Center and Museum which displays the various animal species of Fort Peck Lake and the Missouri River. The featured attraction is the life-size model of Peck's Rex, the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the lobby. South of Glasgow is the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. Area Attractions The Milk River Forty-one different species of fish swim in the milky waters of the Milk River. One of prominence is the Channel Catfish. On May 8, 1805, the first "tourists" to this region, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, camped at the confluence of the Milk and Missouri rivers, about 18 miles southeast of present-day Glasgow. After exploring the river, Lewis called it "Milk River" because of its color resembling that of a "cup of tea admixture of a tablespoon full of milk." Fort Peck Lake Fort Peck Lake is Montana's largest body of water at 134 miles in length and a maximum depth of 220 feet. The shoreline spans more than 1, 520 miles. That's longer than the California coast! More than 50 different kinds of fish call this body of water home. In 1933, a 3.8-mile dam was constructed across the Missouri River creating the reservoir. Anglers flock here for the Walleye, Northern Pike, Paddlefish, Sauger, Lake Trout, Small Mouth Bass, and Chinook Salmon. There are several access points and boat ramps.
