Wagon Rides & Ranch Tours

Come and join us for a wagon ride and ranch tour on the Flying Bee Ranch located 4.5 miles south of McGrew, Nebraska right in the Wildcat Hills. It's your opportunity to see short grass prairie land, pine-dotted bluffs, deep canyons, eagle nests, and our mama cows with their babies. You might even get a glimpse of our diverse wildlife, which includes coyotes, golden eagles, raptors, prairie birds, mule deer, antelope, turkey, and the big horn sheep recently reintroduced in the Wildcats. Imagine what pioneer life was like as you ride by the Moomaw Homestead Cabin Site deep in the Wildcat Hills.

We can accommodate as many as 25 adults on our wagon at one time. Our 656 Farmall tractor pulls the wagon throughout the ranch for your narrated tour. Schedule a lunch, dinner, wiener roast (weather conditions permitting) or dessert before or after your ride.

Want to see what it takes to run a working cattle ranch in the Wildcat Hills of western Nebraska? The Flying Bee Ranch is the place to be. It's located near the historic Oregon Trail and Chimney Rock.

Start the day by helping us feed the horses, chickens, cats, dog and maybe bottle-feed an orphan or twin calf.

Then ride with us in our RTV or pickup for 3 - 4 hours, as we're off to the pastures to check the cows and calves. Get up close to a baby calf nursing its mama. Watch the calves romp and play just like little children. Have your picture taken with our oxen, Toughy, and feed him right out or your hand.

Working Ranch Half-Day Tour

As we put out salt and mineral, we make sure the windmills and the solar pumps are operating properly to provide water for our livestock.

Here you might get a glimpse of a coyote darting across the pasture or a golden eagle soaring overhead. A raptor may swoop down to capture its prey or a flock of turkey could saunter down the draw. The mule deer may peek at you through the brush with great curiosity and the antelope just might be grazing on the field. Many of our short grass prairie birds can be spotted sitting on the barbwire fences right along the road. The recently reintroduced Big Horn Sheep will look like rocks on the side of the hill from a distance.

Traveling through our ranch you'll experience the wide-open spaces of our rolling short grass prairie as well as the steep rugged pine-dotted bluffs of the Wildcat Hills. Some real spectacular scenery!

Learn the details of our cow/calf operation and what it takes to maintain our livestock and work with Mother Nature. See an actual homestead cabin site, hear the history of the ranch from the homestead days to the present and walk away with a new appreciation for the beef on your table.

Tour is limited to 4 adults or a family of 5.
