Just 20 minutes from Rapid City, Dry Creek Farm & Ranch offers sportsmen access to 1,550+ acres of regenerative ranchland on the edge of South Dakota’s Buffalo Gap National Grassland. We are a first-generation family operation with a focus on regenerative practices and traditional values. In the fall of 2015, we began our shift from a traditionally-managed ranching operation to a holistically-managed operation: replacing tilled farming methods with no-till methods, incorporating managed intensive grazing practices, shifting from corn finished to grass finished and focusing on improving the soil with the implementation of cover crops.

We are now an Audubon-Certified Bird Friendly Ranch, and have loved seeing how the ranch has benefited from these changes over the years. Another by-product of our practices is the great hunting opportunities here at the ranch! We have good numbers of Merriam's turkeys, upland birds, deer, and waterfowl.

Our habitat is rolling grassland, scattered draws, and native breaks paired with rich ag ground and various water sources (livestock tanks, ranch reservoirs, and creeks), providing excellent habitat for the wildlife here!

We're looking forward to having hunters out to the ranch this season!

During your visit, please let us know if you'd like to hear more about our operation and regenerative practices. We can also arrange to have Beef, Pork, and Lamb raised here on the ranch ready to take home after your hunt!
