Bill and Beth White are a father / daughter duo who exemplify the hard work and dedication necessary to be successful ranchers in these challenging times.  The White Ranch encompasses over 6,700 acres along the Tongue River and foothills of the Bighorn Moun-tains near Ranchester.  

The White Ranch has been a key partner with the Sheridan County Weed and Pest as well as the Uni-versity of Wyoming Research Sta-tion to combat invasive grasses in Sheridan County.  Medusahead and Ventenata, invasive non-native grasses, have been spreading rapidly across the county and outcompeting native rangeland grasses.  The White Ranch has been very active mapping out these grass species on Beth White, & Bill White their ranch, as well as providing the University of Wyoming with a research plot to study the effects of different chemical and fire treatments to control these grasses. 

The White Ranch participated in the Dry Fork Riparian Enhance-ment Project, which incorporated both riparian and upland man-agement.  Approximately 580 acres of riparian habitat and 7.4 miles of stream were fenced, reducing grazing pressure on this important habitat. This protected area has been included in the overall management plan of the ranch and an additional 4,200 acres of uplands have also been placed into an intensive livestock grazing system.  The fenced area is managed to maximize woody vegetative growth and improve stream health.
