HISTORIC RANCH | EST. 1868

Riske Creek Ranch

Riske Creek Ranching, consisting of the Deer Park and Cotton home sites, was acquired in 2015 from the Harvey and Huffman families.

This ranch is located across the Fraser River from our Alkali Lake Division sustaining 950 cows on 30,000 deed acres and 157,000 crown grazing acres. Our irrigated land base at this location is approximately 700 acres. Day to day management of this division is overseen by our Alkali Lake manager with employees and equipment moving between these divisions as needed. Cattle are also marketed as one from both these divisions.

Initially known for its substantial deer population, Deer Park Ranch was established under its well-suited namesake in 1886.

This historic property was known as M.G. Drummond Ranch (c1897) until it changed ownership in 1907. The ranch’s namesake, Robert Cecil Cotton, operated Cotton Ranch until 1945.
