Cattle Drive
Are you ready to "Cowboy Up?" At Paws Up, you can experience a real western style ranch vacation. Ride side by side with our experienced Cattle Crew and help gather, move, sort and sometimes doctor cattle. It's an authentic education on what it takes to keep the cattle healthy and the ranch running smoothly. View movie
Roping Cattle
There's no better way to get the hang of roping than from the riders and ropers who do it every day. Participate in our roping classes and you'll receive a personal lesson from one of the Paws Up cowboys. (Chewing tobacco not included).
Penning Cattle
If you really want to find out if you have cowboy blood running through your veins, grab a rope and saddle up with some real cowboys for some real live penning. You'll work side by side with our cattle crew in helping to pen cattle from the pasture. You can also try your hand at team penning where you'll have to separate 3 specific calves from a group and then try to move them to a pen at the opposite end of the arena. Sure to be a western style vacation adventure of a lifetime, there's no need for Paws Up coffee to get your heart racing here!
