Old West Buffalo Ranch


Buffalo For Sale   ~   Absentee Ownership Program   ~   Buffalo Hunts

In 1899, the first of five Sutton generations started the 15,000 acre ranch. In 1906, buffalo were introduced. This ranch is part of the family way of life.  The Missouri River is the back fence of the ranch.   This herd was the oldest, privately-owned buffalo herd in the nation.  Today, grandson, Steve, maintains some of the original herd, his family's interest in the buffalo industry and buffalo hunts on the ranch.  The ranch is located in central South Dakota on the Missouri River.  The entrance is 40 miles north of Pierre, SD, on Highway 1804.
