A massive Wyoming ranch labeled “Little Yellowstone” recently went up for sale with an eight-figure price tag.
The sellers, identified as the May family, are seeking $85 million for the massive ranch that members of the family have held for nearly 130 years, according to its listing with Latham Jenkins of Live Water Properties.
The ranch, officially named “Antlers Ranch,” sits close to Meeteetse, a town south of Cody. It first appeared on the market in early August.
Antlers Ranch’s lands sprawl over 16,000 deeded acres. It has control of over 40,000, according to Live Water Properties.
It “has housing for its owners and staff and all of the built infrastructure required for it to be a successful working ranch,” the listing said.

Elk, moose, eagles, deer and gray wolves are among some of the roughly 330 types of creatures that appear on Antlers Ranch lands, according to the listing. It said that cutthroat trout and other fish also swim in the river and three creeks that run through the property.
