Meet Tom and Coleen Schulz the 3rd generation from Buffalo Coulee Ranch Where History is made. Back in 1999 they decided to bring back the bison to the ranch that once, years ago had wild bison roaming the hills. They strove to rebuild the coral system and get the ranch a good start to run a bison operation. With the help of many hands they brought the Buffalo Coulee Ranch back to life to house the new animals and bring on a new adventure. Tom has since passed away but Coleen is still helping on a daily basis with Chores.

 

 

  Meet Darren and Ruth McLachlan. Ruth grew up on the Ranch with her parents Tom and Coleen and her Grandparents. Growing up on the Ranch Ruth was taught the ethics of working hard and lending a hand, working at times side by side with her parents as they farmed and ranched.

Now meet Darren. He’s the main Guy who runs the ranch now. He grew up in Bismarck ND and learned farm/ranch life while working with his dad on a small farm just outside of Wilton ND. Throughout his years Darren has worked in many different fields from Aviation mechanics to his current position of a Power Plant Operator. The skills that he has are invaluable to the ranch. He can repair and run any piece of equipment. This ranch owes him a debt of gratitude to keep it running. In 2006 we were asked to buy into the main herd and take over the ranch so 20 head were purchased. With a lot of hard work and dedication this ranch will keep moving forward.

 

 

Meet Shelby McLachlan one of the hard working hands that helps run this ranch. She has a love for this land and the animals we care for.  In 2015, after moving up here, she dove right in to lend a hand. In between working at the ranch, getting her college degree at UND in Grand Forks ND, driving back and forth every other weekend this gal has a spirit to help keep this ranch running. She is now a assistant press operator/graphic designer in Garrison ND and never misses a beat down at the ranch. From work to work this gal being the 5th generation will keep this ranch going.
