Rarely do we see authentic legacy ranches encompassing over 100,000 acres of deeded land
come on the Western real estate market. The history and grandeur of the Broken O Ranch
remain pale unless personally witnessed. The magnificence goes beyond the breathtaking
views of the Rocky Mountain Front and the beautiful Sun River corridor meandering through
the heart of the Ranch.
The western skyline before us was filled high with a steel-blue army of mountains, drawn in
battalions of peaks and reefs and gorges and crags as far along the entire rim of the earth as
could be seen. Summit after summit bladed up thousands of feet as if charging into the air to
strike first at storm and lightning, valleys and clefts chasmed wide as if split and hollowed by
thunderblast upon thunderblast.
SUMMARY STATEMENT
Ivan Doig, “This House of Sky”- Page 180.
The Broken O Ranch reflects Bill Moore’s commitment to the land and his passion for the
cattle industry. An icon of American ingenuity, hard work and excellence, Moore transcended
his profession and applied that same level of commitment to his love of the land and the
Western way of life. This commitment is evident in the stewardship and attention to detail
manifested in so many aspects of the Ranch and its operation. Great skill and care has
been applied to every facet of the operation, from the selection of the breeding stock to the
20
exquisitely managed grass resource to the maintenance of the infrastructure. The integrity of
this ranching tour de force exudes an aura of unique greatness.
This storied operation holds a singular position by containing the largest irrigated acreage in
the State of Montana. The Broken O sits on a pedestal as one of the iconic ranches of the
West. Other large operations exist in the Rocky Mountain West, but few rival the production,
beauty and scale offered by the Broken O Ranch. The successor to the Broken O will inherit
a ranching history like no other in Montana.
“Through a period of 80-years this ranch has been noted as one of the largest and best stock
ranches in Montana.”

The remarkable condition of the range land is the product of William and Desiree Moore’s
25 years of careful stewardship and direction. The Broken O Ranch is one of the most
significant holdings in the Rocky Mountain West to become available in decades. The scale,
commodity production, recreational amenities and overall diversity make the Ranch one of
the most unique offerings we may ever see. The next owner of the Broken O Ranch will take
an immediate high rank among the Nation’s elite in the beef and agricultural industries.
