A Refuge For Central Oregon’s Elk Population

Located along Central Oregon’s historic Route 19 in John Day, Longview Ranch maintains 30,000 stunning acres of diverse landscape. While the primary purpose of the property is raising grass-fed cattle, Longview Ranch has passionately undertaken responsible, sustainable practices that show respect for the land.

As part of its commitment, Longview Ranch has strict operations regarding how it oversees its vast elk population, implementing a hunting moratorium to encourage the herd to rebound. Now, with nearly 1,000 wild elk in the area, the ranch has become a refuge for many of Central Oregon’s cows and bulls.
