Leveraging Longview Ranch Resources To Help Neighbors

Located along Central Oregon’s historic Route 19 in Kimberly, eight miles of the John Day River flows through the middle of Longview Ranch’s 30,000 stunning acres of diverse landscape. While Longview Ranch operates primarily for the purpose of raising grass-fed cattle, the property and its staff are always ready to lend a helping hand to fellow neighbors. 

Not long ago, a fellow rancher in Monument, Ore. was taking a load of cattle to market, driving along the highway two miles south of Longview Ranch. Suddenly, the rancher’s 2016 Ford diesel pickup truck suffered a malfunction and started blowing fuel catching the motor on fire.

A Longview Ranch employee was passing by and stopped to help his fellow rancher, moving the cattle away from the truck and saving the livestock before the truck burned to the ground. A water truck soon from Longview Ranch arrived, extinguished the flames and helped load the cattle back to safety.
