1994 - Diamond Tail Ranch
Stan & Mary Flitner Stan & Mary's ancestors came from Ireland & England and immigrated to the Big Horn Basin to ranch in 1906. Stan grew up on the family ranch at Shell, Wyoming and Mary in Sublette Co. The Flitners enjoy the weather, mountain scenery, and lifestyle of the farming profession and have chosen to live their lives in the beautiful Wyoming Big Horns. The Stan & Mary Flitner family includes four grown children who loved their ranch upbringing and had hoped to continue ranching. Only two of the offspring are still in agriculture at this time. The Flitners are interested in keeping their mountain scenery the way it appears now. They have invested in improving and keeping riparian habitat secure and utilized appropriate grazing management techniques to help keep it that way. Two wetland projects have been established with the cooperation of Natural Resources Conservation Service. Gated pipe and a sprinkler system also in use on the Flitner ranch help ease land erosion, management work load, and help save water. The Flitners feel somewhat uncertain of the future of farming/ranching. They feel that there is instability in public lands use and are a bit reserved in their assessment. They only hope to continue enjoying the beauty of their Wyoming home. Next
