Highlights:

• The Ayrshire Dairy Farm is currently operated as year long cash cattle lease and summer hay lease.

• The farm is a very historic land mark and was operated as a dairy for many years.

• Numerous range improvements were conducted through the years with the assistance of the NRCS.

• They include pasture renovation and reseeding, water development, and cross fencing to improve grazing distribution and timing.

• The main goal of the farm now is to preserve open space and healthy grazing lands as sub-divisions slowly surround the property.

• The Mitchell’s allow many groups access to their property for educational purposes.

• The farm is also the site of the July 4, 1805 campsite for the Lewis and Clark Expedition and potential burial site for the iron boat.

• The Mitchell’s would eventually like to see part of the farm preserved as a educational park for future generations of kids in Great Falls.
