Property Overview
Set in the sweeping landscapes of eastern Idaho, Leadore Angus Ranch represents one of the Rocky Mountain West’s most remarkable legacy ranch holdings. Spanning approximately 148,000± total acres, including 13,000± deeded acres and more than 135,000± acres of leased grazing lands, this extraordinary river-to-mountain operation stretches from the fertile banks of the famed Lemhi River to the rugged peaks of the Continental Divide. Defined by its immense scale, natural beauty, and productive capability, the ranch offers a rare combination of premier cattle operations, exceptional sporting opportunities, and authentic Western heritage.
At the heart of the ranch lies a highly efficient and fully integrated cattle program capable of supporting more than 2,000 cow/calf pairs year-round, along with replacement heifers and herd bulls. The property features approximately 2,900± irrigated acres, including productive center pivots, native meadows, and fertile river bottoms that contribute thousands of tons of annual hay production. Home to the respected Leadore Angus Bull Sale, the ranch has built a strong reputation for quality registered Angus genetics and long-standing ranching tradition.
Equally impressive is the ranch’s recreational and wildlife appeal. With over eight miles of both banks of the Lemhi River flowing through the property, the ranch offers exceptional trout fishing in a truly private setting. Expansive wildlife habitat supports trophy bull elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, moose, bighorn sheep, upland birds, and waterfowl. Framed by panoramic views of the Beaverhead Mountains and Lemhi Range, the ranch captures the enduring spirit, scale, and beauty of the American West.
